Garchomp & Giratina-GX is a Dragon-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Unified Minds set on August 2, 2019. It has 270 HP and is classified as a Rare Ultra card. The card features a Fairy weakness that deals double damage. It includes three distinct attacks, each with unique energy costs and effects. The Linear Attack requires one Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage to a single opponent's Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Calamitous Slash demands Psychic, Fighting, and Colorless Energy, dealing 160+ damage and adding 80 more if the opponent's Active Pokémon has existing damage counters. The GX attack, GG End-GX, uses two Psychic and one Fighting Energy to discard an opponent's Pokémon and all attached cards, with an additional discard if the Pokémon has three extra Fighting Energy. The card also has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and a rule stating that if the TAG TEAM is knocked out, the opponent takes three Prize cards.
