Oh, and if you only found an incomplete review for yesterday’s Card of the Day when you checked our site, the full version is up now. While this would seem to make it a little too specialized, it is also a good example of a card that is functional in most decks, but far from the optimal play. Hop is a little under powered, but useful for those still getting a feel for more complicated draw Supporters, or some very niche deck needs. I was actually a bit surprised to see Hop, as I thought this card might be receiving the same treatment as some of the other Supporters that are “New name, same effect for characters from a familiar role.” Such as how we have Professor’s Research, which has the image and name of Professor Magnolia on it, but it does the same thing as Professor Juniper and Professor Sycamore. You can run some or all of these together, unlike Professor Juniper/Professor’s Research/Professor Sycamore. For a time, I entertained the notion that being able to stock a deck with more than four “Draw 3 cards.” Supporters might carry some sort of significant advantage but… it doesn’t. I’ve been saying since Tierno, and possibly shortly after Cheren, that a plain “Draw X cards.” Supporter really needs to draw four cards. ![]() Even after power creep, the designers think that your Supporter for the turn is worth drawing three cards. As such, a card like Hop is mostly about providing a nice, simple draw Supporter for beginners, or aiding in Poké Math. While discarding your hand seems like it should be a hefty cost, most decks just evolved to be able to afford it, sometimes even use it for combos. For example, most of them released alongside a Supporter that would let you discard your hand and draw seven cards. The vast majority of the time, however, they’re just too weak. From what I recall, it only happens to decks that can’t afford to shuffle away or discard their hand, and need to keep drawing cards regardless of how large their current hand size is. For a few very, very brief moments, some of those older “Draw 3 cards.” cards have just barely been competitive. We first saw it on Cheren in the BW-series, then on Tierno in the XY-series, and again on Hau in the SM-series. This Trainer-Supporter simply has you draw three cards. We begin this week with Hop (Sword & Shield 165/202). Put them on Craigslist, take them to a card shop, donate them, or pass them along to your kids or a relative.Happy Easter! Or should I say Hop-py Easter… If you want to get rid of your Pokemon cards, they could be worth some memories to a relative or a stranger. Each card has sentimental value to someone: where they got it, the deck it was a part of, that time you used it to battle so-and-so… a lot of people tend to hang onto them because of the memories. If the Pokemon cards are worthless: A card doesn’t have to be worth money to be considered valuable. Lastly, you can sell it yourself on eBay to get a competitive price. ![]() Alternatively, you sell it to a local card shop without getting ripped off since you know it’s worth. If the Pokemon cards are valuable: You can either hold onto the cards, perhaps get them graded if they’re really valuable, and hopefully see them appreciate in value over time. ![]() Once you’ve gone through and searched for the value of your Pokemon cards using the mavin.io price guide, you have several different options: Choosing a few comparable items by using the checkboxes gives you a much more accurate estimate of what your Pokemon card is worth. ![]() If you get too many results that include cards NOT like yours, use the checkboxes to pick the ones just like yours. Looking up how much my Pokemon cards are worth:
