When Pokémon-GX arrive in the Pokémon Trading Card Game early next year for the International versions and December in Japan, players will be able to battle with stronger Pokémon that can use tougher attacks than ever before. These GX attacks are so devastating that they can turn around a player’s fortune in an instant, forcing the opponent to develop new tactics on the fly. They also bring interesting strategic decisions, because a player can’t use more than one GX attack in a game!
Change the Game with Pokémon-GX!
A powerful new kind of Pokémon is coming to the next Pokémon TCG series in early 2017.
The Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon Series is set to launch in early 2017, and when it does, players will be able to battle with stronger Pokémon that can use tougher attacks than ever before. These powerful Pokémon-GX and their GX attacks are so devastating that they can turn around a player's fortune in an instant, demanding that the opponent respond with new tactics. They also bring interesting strategic decisions, because a player can't use more than one GX attack in a game!
Just how devastating is a GX attack? How about being able to search your deck for 5 Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like with Solgaleo-GX's Sol Burst-GX attack? Or immediately Knocking Out one of your opponent's Basic Pokémon with Lunala-GX's Lunar Fall-GX attack? With the right Pokémon-GX in your deck, it's possible!
But beware, properly using Pokémon-GX in battle takes preparation—because while they are powerful, Pokémon-GX have strict restrictions and carry heavy risks.
What Players Need to Know about Pokémon-GX:
A player can use only one GX attack per game. (That's one total, not one per Pokémon-GX!)
Each Pokémon-GX has a maximum of two attacks in addition to its GX attack.
Pokémon-GX have strong attacks and high HP, so they can overwhelm the opponent's Pokémon without needing to rely on the GX attack.
All of this power comes at a price. When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes two Prize cards. Think carefully about how and when to use your Pokémon-GX in battle.
