#155 Gardevoir-EX - Primal Clash (xy5)

Gardevoir-EX is a Fairy-type Pokémon with 170 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It features two attacks: "Life Leap," which costs one Fairy energy and deals 20 damage, healing the Pokémon by the amount of damage inflicted on the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and "Shining Wind," requiring three Fairy energy to deal 100 damage, granting the Pokémon no Weakness during the opponent’s next turn. The card has a resistance to Darkness-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and a weakness to Metal-type attacks, which deal double damage. It was released in the XY series as part of the Primal Clash set on February 4, 2015, with a rarity of Rare Ultra and a card number of 155. The artwork was created by artist Ryo Ueda, and the card includes a rule stating that if a Pokémon-EX is knocked out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. Its design emphasizes Fairy-type attributes while balancing offensive and defensive capabilities through its abilities. The card’s strategic value lies in its ability to mitigate damage and disrupt the opponent’s turn.
