Blaziken-GX

Description

The Blaziken-GX Rainbow Rare card, numbered 170 in the 2018 Celestial Storm expansion, stands as a visually distinct piece within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Produced by The Pokémon Company, this Stage 2 Fire-type Pokémon evolves from Combusken and boasts a massive 240 HP, making it a formidable presence on the battlefield. The card's most defining feature is its Rainbow Rare treatment, which applies a shimmering, multi-colored foil finish that catches the light differently than standard holographic cards, immediately identifying it as a high-tier chase card within the set. Designed by 5ban Graphics, the Blaziken-GX card offers two primary attacks for collectors and players alike. "Explosive Kick" deals 210 damage but requires discarding two Fire Energy from Blaziken, demanding careful resource management. For more dramatic moments, the "Blaze Out-GX" attack allows you to discard two Energy from each of your opponent's Pokémon, a game-changing effect that highlights the card's strategic depth. As with all GX cards, players can only use one GX attack per game, adding a layer of tactical decision-making to its use. Collectors often seek out the Blaziken-GX Rainbow Rare from Celestial Storm for its aesthetic appeal and its role in the Fire-type evolution line. The rainbow finish provides a premium look that complements the card's high attack power, making it a desirable addition for those building themed collections or completing the set. Whether used for gameplay or display, this card represents a significant release in the 2018 Pokémon calendar, appealing to fans of both the character and the unique parallel treatments found in the Celestial Storm series.
