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.
