Buzzwole-GX

Description

Buzzwole-GX #57 stands as a notable entry in the 2017 Crimson Invasion expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Rare Holo GX card brings the muscular Bug/Fighting-type Pokémon to the battlefield with a base of 190 HP. Designed by 5ban Graphics, the card captures the intense physical presence of the creature, making it a visually striking addition to any collection focused on the Generation 7 roster. The card’s gameplay potential revolves around its two distinct attacks. Fighting Jet Punch allows players to deal 30 damage to a specific Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard weakness and resistance calculations for that target. For more decisive blows, Knuckle Impact delivers 160 damage but forces Buzzwole-GX to skip its next turn, adding a strategic layer to its usage. The card’s most defining feature is its GX attack, Absorption-GX. This powerful move deals 40 damage multiplied by the number of remaining Prize cards, offering a high-risk, high-reward finisher that can turn the tide of a match. The Fighting type designation aligns with Buzzwole’s in-game lore as one of the Ultra Beasts, appealing to fans of the Sun and Moon era. Whether building a themed deck or focusing on complete set collection, this card offers both mechanical depth and aesthetic appeal. The interplay between the card’s high damage output and its strategic limitations makes it a memorable piece of the 2017 release. Its design and mechanics reflect the evolving complexity of the TCG during this period, offering a tangible connection to the competitive and casual playstyles of the time.
