==Tag Team Pokémon-GX== | |||
Starting with the {{TCG|Team Up}} expansion (the {{TCG|Tag Bolt}} expansion in Japan), a new kind of Pokémon-GX was introduced: '''TAG TEAM Pokémon-''GX'''''. These cards combine two Pokémon that share at least one [[type]] to form a Tag team, which is reflected in the card's artwork focusing equally on both Pokémon. As a result, due to the various possible combinations between Pokémon of different evolutionary stages, Tag Team cards are always treated as Basic Pokémon cards and have higher HP than regular Basic (and, in some cases, even Evolved) Pokémon-GX. A specific rule was also created so that when a Tag Team Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of one. | |||
The ''GX''-attack of Tag Team cards includes a '+' sign next to the attack's {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} cost. The sign indicates that if the Tag Team has more Energy cards attached than the ones required to perform that attack, an additional effect is applied, as specified by each card's ''GX''-attack. | |||
In terms of layout changes, a '''''TAG TEAM''''' label is added below the card's name, the Pokémon-GX rule box is replaced by the Tag Team rule box and the top-left and bottom-right corners are covered by matching outlined polygons. All these elements are colored yellow. | |||
Tag Team cards featured in expansions are accompanied by the usual Full Art and Rainbow Rare variants as well as a second, alternate artwork variant that expands on the story behind each pair of Pokémon. The Regular prints all feature artwork by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]]. | |||
