Best Pokémon cards: 13 elite TCG cards to collect & use
24.08.2023 - 17:43 / radiotimes.com / Best
If you’re looking to get into the TCG scene, you’ll want to know what the best Pokémon cards to collect and use are.
Fortunately, we’ve done some research to find that out for you — so you don’t need to look anywhere else.
There are thousands of cards to find and use in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, with each one offering its own strengths and weaknesses.
As you’d expect, though, there is an elite small selection of Pokémon cards that are the best there ever was.
While the choice of what cards to use is ultimately up to you and is affected by your preferred play style — if you’d rather use the cards featuring your favourite Pokémon or artwork, be our guest! — a number do jump out as being the best of the best.

The original Professor Oak Trainer Card remains one of the best that has ever been released. It still gets kinda reprinted as a Trainer Supporter card now named Professor’s Research.
This support card lets you discard your entire hand and draw seven new cards from your deck. If you’re planning some competitive play it’s definitely worth tracking down one of these cards.
What good would a Pokémon TCG deck be without a Charizard card? The original design is still the best in our book, and while you might think that's just nostalgia talking, its stats are enviable.
150HP, Fire Spin that deals 200 damage, and the ability to turn other energy cards you have attached to the classic Pokémon into fire energy in the XY Evolutions reprint? What a legendary card this is — if you can find one.
Zoroark GX is one of those rare cards with two attacks and an
