Strategy & play
How Palossand-GX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is card selection. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥105 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Retreat cost 4 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Palossand-GX
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥105 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.
