Gholdengo ex Special Illustration Rare #252
Boy is that one sassy cheese string.
This striking art by Akira Komayama, veteran of Pokémon card design, is another card that people are cramming into decks. Not only letting you double up your card draw each turn if its benched (or triple up if it’s in the active spot), it also features Let It Rain, a 50x attack for every Energy card discard from your hand. Team that up with Lady, for instance, which lets you put four Energies from your deck into your hand, and you’re delivering 200 damage minimum.
And being a Metal-type, it’s also a perfect foil against those bloody Chien-Pao decks.
This version of the card, however, costs about as much as the amount of money depicted on it. It’s going for a blistering $40. Fortunately, the regular version is a slightly less obnoxious $4.50.
