Giratina
Giratina is a Psychic type Pokemon with an interesting ability. The ability is called Distortion Door. Distortion Door allows you to put Giratina on to your bench if it is in your Discard. When you do that then you can put one damage counter on to two of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon.

There will be a few ways to put Lightning energy into the Lost Zone with the release of Lost Thunder. There are also a few other cards that will help make Raikou a formidable attacker.
Tapu Lele
Tapu Lele is a Fairy type Pokemon with an ability an attack. The ability is called Charmed Charm. When you attach a Fairy Charm on to Tapu Lele then it will confuse your Opponent’s Pokemon.
This will be the best use for Tapu Lele. The attack isn’t that great but can see some use if you need a quick Double Colorless with Fairy energy attacker.
Suicune
Suicune will be a Water type Pokemon. It has the ability Frozen Current. This ability allows you to force your opponent to change their active Pokemon if Suicune is in the active.
Those you want to use Suicune will most likely use it for the ability. It can be used as an attacker if you want to attach a Water and DCE on to it.
