Within this set, Pokemon introduced new Pokemon ex, including Alakazam ex with the long-awaited Kadabra, Mew ex, and of course the OG Kanto starters, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

WC - Speed Attack 50
Staryu
WC - Swift 30
This attack’s damage isn’t affected by Weakness or Resistance, or by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon.
What do you guys think of these cards? Cycling Road may be a very interesting card because you can combine it with Radiant Greninja to make a 3 card draw which can be very beneficial for some decks. Starmie can also be a very interesting card because you can do a free snipe while also freeing up your bench space.
