What is a Pokemon GX Card?
A new series of Pokemon was added some time ago. This is a new series of Pokemon from the Sun & Moon expansion. The new collection of Pokemon were named Pokemon GX or Pokémon Giga.
Characteristics of Pokemon GX Cards
This collection of cards is reminiscent of the Pokemon-EX series. This is not only because they have an X in their name but also because the creatures of both series are extremely powerful with a high HP value. Yet these Pokemon are not the same, so make no mistake.
Furthermore, they have an incredibly powerful attack. That attack is one of the biggest features of these Pokemon. It is also known as the new "GX attack" mechanic. These attacks have a big impact on the game. The GX Pokemon are new versions of existing Pokemon, but extra powerful.
Pros and cons of Pokemon GX cards
How do you use these special cards to your advantage? By using the GX cards strategically, these Pokemon can be of tremendous value to you. But beware! With powerful cards comes great responsibility. Are you knocked out? Your opponent may take 2 prize cards. So pay close attention.
The Pokemon GX's attacks can completely change a game. It's good to know that you can only use 1 per game. This is indicated by the GX marker. When you play a Pokemon from this series, you turn this marker over. That's how you know that your turn to play these GX cards is over. You'll have to wait until your next game to be able to attack again with one of your Pokémon GX.
The 3 Best Pokemon GX Cards
There are a lot of strong Pokemon that have the GX type. But which of these is actually the strongest one? We list a top 3.
Lugia GX
Lugia from the Lost Thunder expansion has tremendous value courtesy of her numerous attacks. The Lost Purge GX attack of this card is one of the best attacks in the entire TCG. This card can destroy a single opponent in one turn. The destroyed enemy is not sent to the discard pile, but to the lost zone. This is done along with all the associated cards. What does this mean? These cards cannot return to the game under any circumstances.
Dialga GX
Dialga is a well-known Pokemon. It is known from the Forbidden Light expansion. Its strength lies in manipulating constant power. This card gives the trainer the power to immediately play a new turn. This not only gives the player another turn but also gives the player a chance to place additional energies and an attack. In addition, it also skips the opponent's turn, which can wreak havoc on their strategy.
Mewtwo & Mew GX
The name of this Pokemon scares many players. This card allows you to use attacks from other GX or EX cards on your bench or from your discard pile. So for example, this card can use the attacks of Dialga GX or Lugia GX when you play this card. This makes it the most versatile card among the GX Pokemon cards.
The Mewtwo & Mew Pokemon card is a must-have GX card and according to us, the best ever Pokemon GX card.
