Description
Rayquaza-GX card number 177 is a standout parallel variant from the Pokémon TCG Celestial Storm expansion, released in 2018. As a Rainbow Rare, this card features a distinctive iridescent finish that elevates it within the set, making it a focal point for collectors seeking high-rarity parallels. The artwork is created by 5ban Graphics, adding to its visual appeal as a premium collectible. In gameplay, Rayquaza-GX is a Basic Dragon-type Pokémon with 180 HP. It offers significant strategic flexibility through its Stormy Winds ability, which allows players to discard the top three cards of their deck to attach a basic Energy card to a Benched Pokémon. This ability helps manage resources and accelerate energy attachment during matches. The card also features two powerful attacks: GrassLightningColorless Dragon Break and Grass Tempest-GX. GrassLightningColorless Dragon Break deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of basic Grass and basic Lightning Energy attached to Rayquaza-GX, scaling effectively with proper energy setup. Grass Tempest-GX provides a dramatic hand refresh, allowing the player to discard their hand and draw 10 cards, though it adheres to the standard GX attack limit of one per game. For collectors, the Rainbow Rare treatment of Rayquaza-GX represents the pinnacle of the Celestial Storm set. Its high visibility and unique foil pattern make it a desirable addition to themed collections or complete set builds. The card’s combination of strong gameplay mechanics and premium aesthetic finish ensures it remains a relevant and cherished item in the Pokémon Trading Card Game community. Whether for competitive play or display, this 2018 release continues to attract attention from fans of the Dragon-type Pokémon and parallel collectors alike.
