#97 Giratina - Lost Thunder (sm8)

Giratina is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Lost Thunder set. It has 130 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. The card includes the ability Distortion Door, which allows the player to move Giratina from their discard pile to the Bench once during their turn, dealing 1 damage counter to two of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. Its primary attack, Shadow Impact, costs two Psychic and one Colorless energy to deal 130 damage and places four damage counters on one of the player's Pokémon. Giratina resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Darkness-type attacks with double damage. The card's flavor text reflects its tragic past, describing it as banished for violence and silently observing the old world from the Distortion World. Artist Hasuno's design captures the Pokémon's eerie presence. This card is classified as a Rare Holo and was released in the Lost Thunder set on November 2, 2018.
