Collector Insights

Garchomp is a Dragon-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featuring a unique combination of attacks and strategic gameplay. Its primary attack, Quick Dive, costs two Colorless energy and deals 50 damage to a single opponent's Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. The secondary attack, Royal Blades, requires one Fighting and two Colorless energy, dealing 100+ damage with an additional 100 boost if Cynthia was played during the turn. The card's design is attributed to artist Shin Nagasawa, and it belongs to the Sun & Moon series, released in the Hidden Fates Shiny Vault set on August 23, 2019. Garchomp's weakness to Fairy-type attacks at double power is balanced by its high HP and versatile attack options. The card's flavor text highlights its sensory capabilities, noting the protuberances on its head detect distant prey. With a rarity of Rare Shiny, it offers a distinctive addition to competitive decks. Its absence of resistances and retreat cost makes it a straightforward yet impactful play. The card's design and mechanics align with its thematic portrayal of a powerful, sensor-equipped predator.
