Golem E4

Description

Released in 2009 as part of the Rising Rivals expansion, the Pokémon Golem E4 trading card (card number RR 23) stands as a fundamental piece for fans of the Fighting type. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, this Rare card introduces a strategic element with its unique attack mechanics. Golem E4 boasts 110 HP, providing a solid foundation for gameplay, while its Fighting type allows it to challenge Psychic and Dark-type opponents effectively. The card features two distinct moves that reward tactical play. The first attack, Rage, deals 20 damage plus an additional 10 for each damage counter on a related Golem GL card, encouraging synergy within a deck. The second move, Double-edge, offers a powerful 100 damage output but inflicts 60 damage to Golem E4 itself, adding a risk-reward dynamic to its use. With a high retreat cost of 4, this Pokémon requires careful support to stay in play. Collectors value this card not only for its nostalgic appeal from the late 2000s era but also for its clear depiction of classic Pokémon game mechanics. Whether you are completing the Rising Rivals set or building a themed collection around Fighting-type Pokémon, Golem E4 provides a tangible connection to the franchise's rich history. Its straightforward design and functional abilities make it a recognizable and appreciated addition to any serious Pokémon TCG collection.
