Maybe this change was what stopped a possible third game based off the next Pokmon TCG set, Gym Heroes
Lyra Lyra is halfway between a Leaf/X Speed and a reverse Sabrina/Cyrus, allowing you to switch a damaged active Pokmon with any Pokmon on the bench
I am personally trying to unlock the Mew card, and have found this Pokemon TCG Pocket Card Tracker spreadsheet with thanks to u/Maxwell1755 on Reddit very useful for the endeavor
The Fire-type starter Pokmon also has Steam Artillery, which is a straightforward move that does 160 damage with no other conditions or secondary effects
It is primarily filled with 300/400/500 attack monsters with only a few attributes and almost useless spells (Sparks - Deal 50 (!) damage to the opponent's LP)
You can hold fire with Fighting-type stalwarts like the new Sudowoodo and back up the deck with Lucario and Rampardos but the issue is that by the time you have Garchomp EX ready to go, your opponent would have high-damage hitting EX cards ready as well
