Kangaskhan-GX

Description

Kangaskhan-GX (SM188) is a distinct promotional release from the 2017 SM Black Star Promos series, designed for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Crafted by artist aky CG Works, this holo-finish card captures the essence of the Colorless type with a striking visual appeal that stands out in any collection. As a Basic Pokémon, it offers immediate playability without the need for evolution stages, making it a functional and collectible asset for enthusiasts. The card’s design emphasizes its combat potential through two primary attacks: Split Spiral Punch and Enraged Strike. Split Spiral Punch deals 20 damage but includes a strategic drawback, confusing the opponent's Active Pokémon. This sets the stage for Enraged Strike, which deals 80 damage plus an additional 80 if the opponent's Active Pokémon is Confused. This synergy rewards tactical play, allowing collectors to appreciate the card not just for its aesthetic, but for its clever attack mechanics. Furthermore, the Familial Combo-GX attack allows the player to draw five cards, providing a significant resource advantage that can turn the tide of a match. For collectors, the SM188 designation identifies this card within the broader SM Black Star Promos catalog. The holo treatment adds a layer of visual interest, distinguishing it from standard non-promo cards. While promotional cards often serve as incentives or event exclusives, Kangaskhan-GX remains a notable piece for those interested in the 2017 era of Pokémon TCG design. Its Colorless typing offers flexibility in deck construction, appealing to players who value versatility. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply appreciate the artistry of aky CG Works, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG library. The combination of its unique GX power and its status as a promo release makes it a memorable item for dedicated fans.
