This card
This is Keldeo GX from the Shining Together set, numbered 045/150 with RR rarity, printed in Simplified Chinese in 2023. The card features a holographic treatment with a full-art illustration by 5ban Graphics, showing Keldeo in a dynamic pose near water with droplets and greenery in the background.
How it plays
This basic Water-type Pokemon has 170 HP. Its Ability, Divine Heart, prevents it from being affected by damage and effects from opponent's GX and EX Pokemon's attacks. Its first attack, Sonic Edge, costs two Water Energy and one Colorless Energy, deals 110 damage, and ignores effects on the opponent's Active Pokemon when calculating damage. Its second attack, Resolute Blade GX, costs two Water Energy and one Colorless Energy, and deals 50 damage multiplied by the number of Pokemon on the opponent's bench, with the note that GX attacks can only be used once per game. It has a weakness to Grass-type attacks (times 2), no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy.
