For me, Battle Academy was a great refresher on the Pokemon TCG s rules

I get to go first

Gardevoir ex [Scarlet and Violet] was gaining momentum, players were trying to counter that with Miraidon ex [Scarlet and Violet] / Iron Hands ex [Paradox Rift], and Lost Zone Box decks were still floating around

The surge in Rayquaza has created a ripple effect, with collectors broadening their search to other standout Megas as well

Important note this is a special expansion like 151 and Prismatic Evolutions, so there are no booster boxes

The Evolutions set was an explicit nostalgia play by The Pokemon Company, reprinting Base Set cards with modernized EX mechanics and updated rarity tiers, and the Mewtwo cards from the set served as premium alternatives to the vintage originals
