Description
Toxapex-GX, identified as card number 154 in the 2017 Guardians Rising expansion, stands out in the Pokémon Trading Card Game for its striking rainbow foil treatment. This parallel variant transforms the base card into a highly sought-after collector's item, appealing to those who value both the creature's in-game utility and the visual impact of the rare finish. As a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon, Toxapex evolves from Mareanie and boasts 210 HP, making it a durable presence on the battlefield. The card introduces the Total Shelter-GX attack, which allows the player to prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Toxapex during the opponent's next turn. This unique ability provides a strategic advantage, offering a powerful defensive option that differentiates it from standard versions. Collectors often target the Rainbow Rare treatment for its shimmering, multi-colored border that contrasts with the card's artwork. Completing a full set of Guardians Rising often involves hunting down this card number, adding to its enduring popularity. Whether you are building a deck around its defensive GX move or collecting the entire set, Toxapex-GX represents a key piece of the 2017 era. Its presence in the market highlights the ongoing interest in Pokémon's GX mechanic and the vibrant design language of the Guardians Rising expansion. For dedicated fans, acquiring this variant is a significant milestone in their journey to complete the collection.
