Pokemon TCG Tag Team Gengar And Mimikyu GX Card Revealed

The Pokemon Company has revealed the official English artwork for the Pokemon TCG Tag Team Gengar and Mimikyu GX card.

With this special Tag Team card, the Poltergeist attack will force your opponent to reveal their Trainer cards and deal 50 damage to each card that is uncovered. Another attack called Horror House-GX will prevent your opponent from playing any cards from their hand in their next time.

Check out the full details below:

Gengar & Mimikyu-GX

Halloween may have come and gone, but that’s not stopping Gengar and Mimikyu from continuing to get their creep on. This terrifying team comes together in a Gengar & Mimikyu-GX TAG TEAM that will send a shiver up anyone’s spine when it shows up for battle. Your opponent should be especially afraid if they’re holding onto a bunch of Trainer cards. This Pokémon’s Poltergeist attack forces them to reveal their hand, and then does 50 damage for each Trainer card that’s uncovered.

The Horror House-GX attack doesn’t cause any damage, but it will certainly disrupt your opponent’s strategy by preventing them from playing any cards from their hand during their next turn. And for just one extra Psychic Energy, each player must draw cards until they have a hand of 7 (which could mean your opponent is holding more Trainer cards—perfect for a follow-up Poltergeist attack).

Why did you choose to match up these two Pokémon as TAG TEAM partners?

Atsushi Nagashima, game director, Pokémon Trading Card Game: We put a lot of thought into each pairing of Pokémon for the TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX cards. With this card, we didn’t want to just make it a powerful card, but we also wanted to deliver new gameplay to players. Gengar & Mimikyu were paired more to match that new gameplay concept than anything else.

How did you combine the distinct traits of these two Pokémon onto a single card?

Mitsuhiro Arita, illustrator, Pokémon Trading Card Game: The difference in size between these two Pokémon is actually much larger than I think most people would guess. Both of them share the characteristic of their ears or horns standing out, and both give off a bit of a spooky impression, so I felt it would be a good idea to place them in front of a moonlit night sky.
