Golisopod-GX 17 is a Grass Pokémon card with 210 HP, printed as Stage 1 GX.

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

  • Crossing Cut-GX 3 Energy150 damage for 3 Energy — 50 per Energy card150

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (150).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

  • First Impression is printed as 30+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Golisopod-GX 17 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

Is Golisopod-GX 17 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 150 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Golisopod-GX 17 strong for a GX card?

GX cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

Of the 368 cards in the archive that can remove Golisopod-GX 17 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 110 printed damage against a bar of 105. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Golisopod-GX 17 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

  • Its hardest attack, Crossing Cut-GX, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 50 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Wimpod has to be on the field first.

Golisopod-GX 17 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Golisopod-GX 17?

Golisopod-GX 17 has 210 HP and a Fire weakness at ×2, so a Fire attack printed at 105 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 210.

What is the strongest attack on Golisopod-GX 17?

Crossing Cut-GX, printed at 150 damage for 3 Energy — 50 damage per Energy card. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

What is the retreat cost of Golisopod-GX 17?

3 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the + after the damage on First Impression mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 90 more damage."

What does Golisopod-GX evolve from?

Wimpod. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Golisopod-GX 17 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

What does the rule on Golisopod-GX 17 mean?

The card reads “Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Golisopod-GX 17 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
