Over the years Pokémon TCG has introduced a lot of novelties such as EX, GX or even Shiny-cards. With Sun and Moon they brought us Tag Team duos and Hidden Fates introduces the very first Tag Team Trio GX! But who will be the next trio?
First let’s have a look at the very first Tag Team Trio GX in detail:
There are multiple art-styles including the Stained Glass version that’s high on everyone’s pull list right now in the upcoming Hidden Fates release! And whenever I see Mr. Arita’s name on a card my heart has already been won. But what makes this a good card? First of all the Tag Team Trio GX card focusses on their shared flying type. Flying is weak to rock/ice/lighting. The Tag Team Trio GX however has a lightning weakness which makes it very viable since there aren’t a lot of strong electric Pokémon to counter it. It has a good resistance to fighting since that’s what flying type procures you with. The retreat cost is quite OK but the KO cost is substantial. Of course it is relative to the 300 HP and the 210 damage output if you manage to get your 3 different energy cards attached to this card. If you add another on top of the fourth colorless energy you’ll do another additional 110 damage to 3 Pokémon on the foes’ side. Absolutely bonkers! We’re sure this card will be hard to set up and get viable in a water/fire/electric deck. But when pulled off it can be a game changer for sure!
Now let’s look at some other Tag Team Trio GX contenders.
Our 3 legendary beasts from gen 2 actually already had a promotional card back in 2018. With a whopping 500 HP and a damage output of 1000!!! just by “Being Legendary” we would love to see another re-imagination as an official Tag Team Trio GX card.
To change up things I would have them as a Shiny Tag Team Trio GX. That would re-introduce them with a lot of resplendent art.
Another less beastly entry would be the pixies Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit.
I would like to see them as a lightpacked Tag Team Trio GX card. Where they’d only have a combined 200-230 HP but with lower set up costs. A 3 x psychic “Psy Burst” attack with 180 damage output but with a coin flip confusion effect. I would add a weakness to Darkness and a full resistance to fighting to counter their relatively low combined HP. It wouldn’t be as strong as the previous Tag Team Trio GX but it would be easier to set up.
My body is ready to go crazy and get a Tag Team SQUAD GX featuring all four Regi!
Imagine a whopping 600 HP 4 Pokémon Regi Squad! The combined physical bulk of all the Regi.
A 3x weakness to fighting and a nerf resistance to normal type. It would be the bulkiest set up ever! To balance out the stalling power of this Tag Team Squad GX I would attach a coin flip to be able to attack with this card. A whopping 350 damage “Origin Schism”, with added effect that you would have to sacrifice a benched Pokémon if you flip the coin and it lands on tails. Talking about taking risks!
So what Legendary Trio would you like to see as a Tag Team Trio GX card? We haven’t talked about all of them yet, but these would be absolutely amazing! Or do you want to see some more unexpected duos like Team Up?
We’re excited for Unified Minds and Hidden Fates and can’t wait for more crazy Tag Team GX cards!
