#259 Giratina V - SWSH Black Star Promos (swshp)

Giratina V is a Dragon-type Pokémon with 220 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series as part of the SWSH Black Star Promos set. It is numbered 259 and carries a Promo rarity, designed by artist PLANETA Mochizuki. The card allows players to use two distinct attacks, each with unique mechanics. The first attack, Abyss Seeking, requires one Colorless Energy to let the player inspect the top four cards of their deck, placing two into their hand and the remaining in the Lost Zone. The second attack, Shred, demands Grass, Psychic, and Colorless Energy to deal 160 damage, bypassing any defensive effects on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. Giratina V has a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy, and its rule states that if it is Knocked Out, the opponent forfeits two Prize cards. The card’s design emphasizes strategic resource management through its dual attack options and penalty-based consequences.
