How it plays
Cobalion GX is a Basic Metal-type Pokémon with 170 HP. Its Ability, Metal Symbol, prevents any of your Pokémon with Metal Energy attached from being affected by Special Conditions and removes existing ones. Its attack Dueling Saber costs two Metal Energy, deals 50+ damage, and deals 60 more damage if any Stadium card is in play. Its GX attack, Iron Rule GX, prevents the opponent's Pokémon from attacking during their next turn, including those played that turn; it has a weakness to Fire (×2), a resistance to Psychic (-20), and a retreat cost of one.
