Pokémon GX cards are forces to be reckoned with. GX cards give your opponent two prize cards when they are conquered, they have a high HP, and they have strong attack values. The GX attacks are based on the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Z-move from the Sun and Moon video games.
GX cards are a great and it's important to know which ones to use. To help with that, here are the ten best Sun & Moon GX cards.
Updated on January 2nd, 2020 by Josh Davison: Now that we have reached the end of the Sun and Moon era of the Pokémon TCG, it also means that players must say goodbye to the GX mechanic. Sword and Shield has brought in V and VMax cards and phased out GX. The Pokémon TCG is an ever-shifting game, and this change isn't particularly surprising for many. However, it is sad to see the GX go, and it seems a good a time as any to go back and look at the best GX cards of the Sun and Moon era of the card game.
10 ꦓ 🦹 Blastoise GX
Blastoise GX was not only a powerhouse in its own right but a perfect counter for one of the most dominating GX cards of the mo꧙ment: Reshiram and Charizar🤡d GX. Being a Water-type, Blastoise GX was perfectly poised to bring down the powerful Fire-type Tag Team card.
What made Blastoise GX so incredible was the fact that its primary attack, Rocket Splash, shuffled Water Energy into your deck from any Pokémon on your field to increase its power. This synergized perfectly with another Blastoise of the time with the Powerful Squal Ability, which would attack Water Energy from the top six cards of the deck to any Pokémon on your🌸 field. In short, you could thin out your deck until it was just Water Energy to power up Rocket Splash with via Powerful Squal.
9 Lycanroc GX ♊
The Midnight Form of Lycanroc GX was a powerful utility Pokémon. It was a Fighting-type with impressiv💃e attacks in Claw Slash and Dangerous Rogue GX, but that wasn't usually the reason that this GX got slotted into decks.
The true perk of Lycanroc GX was its Bloodthirsty Eyes ability, which can swap your opponent's active Pokémon with one 🐟from their bench without needing to use a Supporter card like Guzma. This found Lycanroc GX being slotted into all kinds of decks, even if there wasn't a Fighting Energy to be found in them.
8 Pikachu And Zekrom GX 💖
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pikachu and Zekrom GX was amongജ the first wave of Tag Team GX Pokémon cards, and it made a shocking impact on the metagame. Tag Teams boasted more powerful attacks and higher ꦅHP with the only downside being an additional Prize Card lost when they're knocked out.
Tওhis proved to be little concern with the likes of Pikachu and Zekrom GX. With Trainer cards 🎃like Electropower, Electromagnetic Radar, and the Thunder Mountain Stadium to back it up, Pikachu and Zekrom GX came out with a ton of support and little to stand in its way.
7 ﷽ Buzzwole GX
Buzzwole GX was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:among the more frighten⛎ing Ult൩ra Beasts to come out of the Sun and Moon era of the TCG. Its attacks had a relat🐈ively low cost and d♔ealt a ton of damage. However, Buzzwole GX was just the face of its deck; its true power came from its backup.
At the ti🌊me that Buzzwole GX dominated, Regirock EX and Strong Energy were both still in rotation, both of which ﷽powered up Buzzwole GX's attacks. On top of that, Diancie Prism Star powered up Buzzwole's attacks by another 20 damage. Add to that the support of Lycanroc GX, and you have a deck that's hard to beat.
6 Reshir🐻am And Chari🦩zard GX
Reshiram and Charizard GX was obviously going to 🙈be a dominant card from the second it was revealed. With attack power that ranges from 230 damage to 300, 270 HP, and ample Trainer card support, there was little that was going to slow this creature down.
With the Welder and a Volcanion 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to cheat out Fire Energy, Fiery Flint and Fire Crystal to♚ ensure you have Firওe Energy in your hand at all times, Heatran GX as an alternate win condition, and Heat Factory for draw, there is little that isn't available to the player in a Reshiram and Charizard GX build.
5 Ultra Necrozma GX 🍸 💙
Ultra Necrozma GX was another 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon that was going to c🌌learly 🌟dominate from its aꦺnnouncement. It's Photon Geyser attack has no upper limit and is easy to power up, and Sky-Scorching Light GX can sweep your opponent's field.
Like many GX, however, the true power c♓ame from Ultra Necrozma's support. Malamar's Psychic Recharge could charge Ultra Necrozma with Psychic Energy, Ultra Space searched your deck for Ultra Beasts, and Beast Ring could add more energy to your Pokémon, and Mysterious Treasure put Psychic Energy in your discard for Malamar to use while being another way to search your deck for needed Pokémon.
4 Arceus And Dialga And Palkia GX 🐻 ✃
Arceus and Dialga and Palkia GX is the granddaddy of all Tag Team Pokémon despite requiring 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:two types of Energy cards to attack. Its basic attack, Ultimate Ray, deals a load of damagꦉe while charging your Pokémon with Energy. However, Altered Creation GX is the൲ main selling point, as it powers up your Pokémon's attacks while making it so you take one more Prize Card for each knockout.
Combine this with a powerhouse 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:like the new Zacian V or Mega Lopunny and Jigglypuff GX, and you have an easy win on your hands,💙 especially with how common T🐻ag Team GX cards still are in the metagame.
3 ♛ Tapu Lele GX
Tho🌌ugh Tapu Lele is long gone, it won't be forgotten anytime soon. This GX was slotted in just about every deck build and for good reason. When you play Tapu Lele GX from your hand to your bench, its Wonder Tag ability allows you can search your deck for a Supporter card and put it in your hand.
Its Energy Drive attack required no specifically-typed Energy, and, though it wasn'ꦕt a particularly powerful attack, was more than capable of KO'ing a Pokémon 🐽here and there in a pinch.
2 ♉ Dedenne G💮X
Much like Tapu Lele GX, Dedenne GX is 🍒slotted in just about every deck it can be fit into as well. When played onto your bench, its Dedechange ability allows you to discard yo⛎ur hand and draw an entirely new hand of six cards.
That's an incredi♈bly powerful ability and is more than worth making Dedenne GX a soft target in d🐓ecks with no Lightning Energy.
1 🍎 Zoroark GX
Finall♊y, we have Zoroark GX. This Pokémon is a special case in that it can be slotted into any deck like Tapu Lele and Dedenne ꦏGX, but it can also just be the focal point of your deck.
Its Trade ability allows the player to discard a card and draw two. Its Riotous beating doles out 20 damage for each Pokémon the player has, which admittedly only maxes out at 120 damage. Howe🃏ver, Riotous Beating requires no specific Energy types, so Zoroark can be slotted anywhere and be a potential threat. All sorts of decks were built around Zoroark GX or slotted this beast in for draw power. It was an insanely powerful card that dominated the metagame in its time. It suffered a weakness to Buzzwole GX, but even that barely slowed Zoroark GX down.
