Gardevoir

Double down on your next deck with the help of Gardevoir (57/99)! This Stage 2 Pokémon provides plenty of support to your Psychic-type Pokémon with its Psychic Mirage Ability, which provides 2 Psychic Energy for every 1 Basic Psychic Energy attached to the Pokémon. But it works only with Psychic-type Pokémon—Gothitelle (Black & White—Emerging Powers, 47/98) and Mewtwo-EX (54/99) will go crazy with that kind of support.

Gardevoir isn't just there to help its teammates; this Pokémon has some offensive skills of its own, too. Gardevoir's Mind Shock attack does 60 damage, and it ignores the Defending Pokémon's Weakness and Resistance. The cost of the attack (2 Psychic and 2 Colorless Energy) might ordinarily be considered too steep, but Psychic Mirage makes it a reasonable—and potent—attack.

Shiftry

The Darkness-type Pokémon Shiftry (72/99) can make a huge impact as soon as it takes the field, and continues to be a disruptive force for as long as it stays in battle. When play Shiftry to evolve another Pokémon, you get to flip a coin. If it comes up heads, you get to choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon and send it back into his or her deck, along with all the cards attached to the Pokémon. And yes—if you force your opponent to pick up his or her last Pokémon in play, you'll win automatically!

Shiftry's sneaky ways continue with its Whirlwind attack, a 60-damage blast that additionally forces your opponent to switch the Defending Pokémon out for one of his or her Benched Pokémon. Fire away turn after turn to keep your opponent off balance, while delivering tons of damage each turn!

Skyarrow Bridge

There are a lot of big, powerful Pokémon in the Black & White series, and along with them comes soaring Retreat Costs. Manage those Retreat Costs with Skyarrow Bridge (91/99), a handy Trainer-Stadium card which lowers the Retreat Cost of all Pokémon in play by 1 Energy. With Skyarrow Bridge, it's much easier for you to move your burly Pokémon around to create the best match-up against the Defending Pokémon.

Skyarrow Bridge is also useful for pre-evolved Pokémon that are susceptible to Pokémon Catcher. For example, you may have a Litwick on your Bench that you're trying to Evolve into Chandelure; if it gets called into action by Pokémon Catcher and hit for 40 damage, you could be in quite a jam the next turn. With Skyarrow Bridge in play, Litwick would have a 0 Retreat Cost, letting you get the Pokémon out of harm's way without costing an Energy (that you might not even have)!
