Description
The SM193 Garchomp & Giratina-GX card is a notable promotional release from the 2017 SM Black Star Promos series. Printed with a distinctive holo finish and illustrated by Anesaki Dynamic, this Basic Dragon-type Pokémon boasts an impressive 270 HP. As a dual-subject card, it allows collectors to engage with both Garchomp (Pokédex #445) and Giratina (Pokédex #487) in a single, powerful unit. For players building decks, this card offers significant strategic depth. Its standard attack, Colorless Linear Attack, deals 40 damage to a single opponent's Pokémon while ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched targets, providing a reliable early-game tool. The card's true power lies in its signature moves. Calamitous Slash deals 160 damage, plus an additional 80 if the opponent's Active Pokémon already has damage counters, making it a devastating finisher. The GG End-GX attack is even more formidable: it discards one of the opponent's Pokémon along with all attached cards, provided this Pokémon has at least three extra Fighting Energy attached. This ability can completely turn the tide of a match by removing a key opponent's asset and stripping their resources. The Garchomp & Giratina-GX card stands out as a centerpiece for fans of the Dragon type and those who appreciate the GX mechanic's high-impact potential. Its combination of high survivability and game-ending attacks makes it a memorable addition to any collection. Whether you are completing your SM Black Star Promos checklist or looking to add a powerhouse to your shelf, this holo promo represents a significant piece of Pokémon TCG history from 2017.
