Description
The 2017 Pokémon SM Black Star Promos SM248 Pikachu & Zekrom-GX card stands as a powerful entry in the Sword & Shield era of the trading card game. Designed by 5ban Graphics, this promotional release combines the electric prowess of Pikachu with the dragon-like energy of Zekrom. As a Basic Pokémon with 240 Hit Points, it serves as a resilient backbone for decks built around Lightning-type strategies. From a gameplay perspective, this card offers significant tactical value through its versatile attack options. The "Full Blitz" attack allows trainers to search their deck for up to three Lightning Energy cards and attach them to one of their Pokémon, then shuffle their deck. This ability provides crucial resource acceleration, enabling rapid setup for high-damage plays. Alternatively, the "Tag Bolt-GX" attack delivers substantial damage, provided the Pokémon has at least three extra Lightning Energy attached beyond the attack cost. This mechanic rewards players who have successfully utilized the card’s search abilities earlier in the turn. The holo finish enhances its visual presence, while the GX status adds a layer of excitement for those who enjoy the powerful one-time effects associated with the GX mechanic. Whether used to complete a set of Black Star Promos cards or to build a competitive Lightning deck, this card remains a staple for enthusiasts of the Pokémon TCG. Its combination of high HP, flexible energy attachment, and heavy damage output ensures it remains relevant in both casual and structured play environments. Adding the Pikachu & Zekrom-GX SM248 to your collection offers both nostalgic charm and strategic depth.
