Battle Cage
Battle Cage arrived with Phantasmal Flames on 14 November 2025. Here is what it does once it is on the table, and what it is worth right now.
What the card itself says
Everything below is written on the card itself: how much health it has, what it fears, and what its attacks cost.
What to make of it
Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.
WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- Mega Lopunny ex / Dudunsparce runs it in 50 of the 51 lists we have read, seen across 46 different tournaments.
- No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

We have no price to show you for this card today. The link below takes you where it sells, and you will see the day's numbers there.

Where to find it
You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.
Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.
It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
