#31 Pikachu & Zekrom-GX - Tag Bolt (sm9)

Pikachu & Zekrom-GX is a Double Rare Pokémon card from the Tag Bolt set, released on December 7, 2018. It features a high base HP of 240 and is illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. The card includes two attacks: Full Blitz, which costs three Lightning Energy and deals 150 damage, allowing the player to search their deck for up to three Lightning Energy cards to attach to one of their Pokémon before shuffling their deck. The second attack, Tag Bolt-GX, requires three Colorless Energy and deals 200 damage, but its effect triggers only if the Pokémon has at least three extra Lightning Energy attached beyond the attack’s cost. This GX attack inflicts 170 damage to an opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for that target. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a powerful Electric-type Pokémon with strategic Energy manipulation. Its rarity and set placement highlight its significance within the Tag Bolt series. The combination of its attacks offers versatility in gameplay, balancing direct damage with resource management.
