Description
Released in 2017 as part of the SM Black Star Promos series, the Zekrom-GX promo card (SM138) captures the electric power of the legendary Pokémon. Designed by 5ban Graphics, this Basic Lightning-type card carries 180 HP and offers distinct strategic options for players and collectors alike. The card's design emphasizes Zekrom's formidable presence, making it a notable addition to any Pokémon Trading Card Game collection. In gameplay, Zekrom-GX provides versatile attack options. Colorless Bullet Uppercut deals 10 damage plus an additional 60 if the opponent's Active Pokémon is a Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX, ignoring Weakness. Swift Bolt Strike allows for variable damage based on coin flips, while the powerful Rampage Bolt-GX attack delivers 200 damage unaffected by opponent effects. These mechanics highlight the card's role in competitive play during the Sun & Moon era. For collectors, the SM138 designation marks this promo release within the broader SM Black Star Promos catalog. As a holo-finished promo, it stands out for its distinctive finish and high-quality production typical of promotional releases from that period. The card remains a sought-after item for those building comprehensive sets of Pokémon-GX cards or focusing on legendary Pokémon collections. Its status as a promo card adds to its appeal, distinguishing it from standard set releases. Whether you are completing a set of SM Black Star Promos, collecting all Zekrom variants, or simply appreciating the art and design of the Sun & Moon era, this card represents a key piece of Pokémon TCG history. The combination of iconic artwork, powerful GX mechanics, and promotional status makes it a valuable component for serious collectors and players.
