Yveltal-GX

Description

The Yveltal-GX Rainbow Rare (#137) from the 2018 Forbidden Light expansion stands as a pinnacle of collector appeal within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Released by The Pokémon Company International, this card features the legendary Dark-type Pokémon Yveltal with a striking rainbow foil treatment that distinguishes it from standard versions. Designed by 5ban Graphics, the card captures the essence of the Forbidden Light era, which introduced a new wave of powerful GX mechanics and legendary creatures to the game. As a Basic Pokémon with 180 HP, Yveltal-GX offers strategic versatility on the battlefield. Its attacks include Darkness Absorb Vitality, which allows players to heal damage equal to the damage dealt to the opponent's Active Pokémon, and Sonic Evil, a powerful 100-damage move unaffected by Weakness or Resistance. The card’s signature GX attack, Darkness Doom Count-GX, provides a game-changing option: if the opponent’s Active Pokémon has exactly four damage counters, it is Knocked Out. This unique mechanic adds a layer of tactical depth, making the card desirable not just for its aesthetics but for its gameplay potential. Collectors value the Rainbow Rare variant for its premium finish and status as a chase card within the set. Whether you are building a collection of legendary Pokémon or seeking high-end finishes for display, this card represents a significant milestone in modern TCG collecting. The combination of powerful abilities, iconic subject matter, and exclusive foil treatment ensures that Yveltal-GX remains a standout piece in any Pokémon card collection.
