#245 Garchomp ex - Paradox Rift (sv4)

Garchomp ex is a Water-type Pokémon from the Scarlet & Violet series, featured in the Paradox Rift set. It has 320 HP and is classified as a Special Illustration Rare card with a regulation mark of G. The card includes two attacks: Hydro Lander, which costs a single Fighting Energy and deals 160 damage, allowing the player to attach up to three Basic Fighting Energy cards from their discard pile to any Benched Pokémon. The second attack, Sonic Dive, requires two Colorless Energy and inflicts 120 damage to an opponent’s Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. A unique rule states that if this Pokémon is on the Bench, it prevents all damage from attacks, both offensive and defensive. Another rule specifies that when a Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent forfeits two Prize cards. The card is illustrated by artist Oswaldo KATO and carries a weakness to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. Its design emphasizes strategic energy management and defensive capabilities through its special rules.
