These cards combine two or three Pokémon that share at least one type to form a Tag Team, which is reflected in the card's artwork focusing equally on each Pokémon. Starting with the Team Up expansion, a new kind of Pokémon-GX was introduced: TAG TEAM Pokémon- GX.

Pokémon-GX released on main expansions and subsets are usually accompanied by Full Art and Secret Rainbow Rare (Hyper Rare in Japan) prints. Additionally, a label saying Ultra Beast is positioned below the HP and type. Finally, the card border features a black line running over it.Ĭards depicting Ultra Beasts have a graphic on the card name instead, with the GX attack bar, effect text and Pokémon-GX rule box also colored red instead of blue. A blue and black bar containing the GX attack name separates it from the other attacks and the effect text is colored blue. As such, the card text presented across the artwork is outlined, resembling Full Art cards. A special GX marker is used to take note of whether the player has already used their GX attack or not.Īesthetically, the artwork on Pokémon-GX covers most of the card, with the background illustration fading into the top and bottom-most areas, while still having the Pokémon break the card's borders (following on previous Pokémon variant cards). However, a player can only use one GX attack per game. These attacks are based on the Z-Moves mechanic introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon and like them, have more powerful effects and/or damage output than normal attacks.

The main trait that makes Pokémon-GX differ from previous types of Pokémon is their exclusive mechanic called GX attacks. Also like Pokémon-ex, Pokémon-GX are classified with their usual stage of Evolution, contrary to Pokémon-EX which had fully evolved Pokémon as Basic Pokémon. However, when a Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards instead of one. They possess considerably higher HP and stronger attacks compared to their regular counterparts. Pokémon-GX work very similarly to both Pokémon-EX from the Black & White and XY series and Pokémon-ex from the EX Series. Pokémon-GX have a stylized graphic on the card name.

They were first introduced in the Sun & Moon expansion.

Pokémon-GX (Japanese: ポケモンGX Pokémon GX), officially written Pokémon- GX, are a type of Pokémon found in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
