The new set in town, Vivid Voltage, is finally here! In the 4th set of the Sword & Shield era, V and VMAX Pokémon are still dominating and getting stronger with each new release. Some VMAX cards to highlight from this set include Coalossal VMAX, Pikachu VMAX, and the often-overlooked Togekiss VMAX.
Coalossal VMAX is a powerful Fighting-type Pokémon that synergizes well with the Stage 2 Coalossal card, which attaches Energy from the discard pile. When paired with the new Supporter card Leon, which adds 30 damage to attacks, Coalossal VMAX becomes a major contender in the Standard format. Its ability to handle big decks like Pikachu & Zekrom GX and Eternatus VMAX, while also hitting the critical 240 damage mark, makes it a must-have. With damage boosts from cards like Leon and Zigzagoon, Coalossal VMAX can even one-shot other big Tag Teams in the meta.
Pikachu VMAX is another standout card in this set. As a Lightning-type Pokémon, Pikachu VMAX can hit for a hard 270 damage with enough Energy attached, making it a great finisher for Pikachu & Zekrom decks. Finally, Togekiss VMAX is a versatile option that excels in two-shot strategies while maintaining control or healing using its Max Glide attack. Max Glide deals 120 damage and lets you search your deck for 2 cards, providing endless strategic possibilities with control or healing cards like Reset Stamp, Power Plant, and Mallow & Lana.
This set also introduces amazing one-prize Pokémon like Snorlax, Jirachi, and Charizard. Snorlax offers the same effect as Tropical Beach by letting you draw until you have 7 cards in hand when it's in the Active Spot (at the cost of ending your turn). Jirachi allows you to look at the top two cards of your deck, adding one to your hand and returning the other to the top of your deck. Charizard makes a powerful appearance as a Stage 2 Pokémon with 170 HP and an attack that can deal up to 330 damage with Leon in the discard pile.
Vivid Voltage is an exciting set that will redefine the metagame with its strong Pokémon V and VMAX cards, innovative Trainers, and strategic new additions. Pick up your online codes today and get them automatically emailed to you, ready for use in no time!
