Tag Team cards featured in expansions are accompanied by the usual Full Art and Rainbow Rare variants as well as a second, alternate artwork variant that expands on the story behind each group of Pokémon. In terms of layout changes, a TAG TEAM label is added below the card's name, the Pokémon-GX rule box is replaced by the Tag Team rule box and the top-left and bottom-right corners are covered by matching outlined polygons. The sign indicates that if the Tag Team has more Energy cards attached than the ones required to perform that attack, or if a certain action was taken during the turn (such as playing a particular card), an additional effect is applied, as specified by each card's GX-attack. The GX-attack of Tag Team cards includes a '+' sign next to the attack's Energy cost. A specific rule was also created so that when a Tag Team Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one. As a result, due to the various possible combinations between Pokémon of different evolutionary stages, Tag Team cards are always treated as Basic Pokémon cards and have higher HP than regular Basic (and, in some cases, even Evolved) Pokémon-GX. 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.
