Pokemon Black & White Dragons Exalted - Garchomp

Pokemon Garchomp - #90/124

The Stage 2 Garchomp (90/124) is yet another hard-hitting Dragon-type in the new Black & White—Dragons Exalted expansion. With 140 HP and a couple of powerful attacks, Garchomp has some of the features of a Pokémon-EX without the risk of giving your opponent two Prize cards if it gets Knocked Out. Plus, both of its attacks are cheap, meaning you need less Energy to use it, leaving more room in your deck for Trainer cards.

For just 1 Fighting Energy, Garchomp’s Mach Cut attack will do 60 damage, plus knock a Special Energy off of the Defending Pokémon. You’ll be hard pressed to find such a potent attack for so little Energy anywhere else. And for just 1 more Water Energy, Garchomp will slice up the Defending Pokémon with its Dragonblade attack. This attack also makes you discard 2 cards from the top of your deck, so be ready with the usual Super Rods, Revives, and other Trainer cards that can retrieve vital cards from your discard pile.

For a Stage 2 Pokémon, this new Garchomp is sleek and powerful, just what you need to compete against the tough Pokémon-EX you’re sure to face.
