Its attacks

Linear Attack

This attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Calamitous Slash

160+

If your opponent’s Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 80 more damage.

GG End GX

Discard 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon and all cards attached to it. If this Pokémon has at least 3 extra Fighting Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), discard 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon instead. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    270 HP. Only 2 cards in SM Black Star Promos carry more.

  2. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,466 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fairy ×2. Against a Fairy Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,466 tournament lists we have read, 0 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 38 Garchomp cards on one page, priciest first.
