It adds 30 damage to attacks when targeting an opponent's Active Pokemon-GX or Active Pokemon-EX.

What it does

Choice Band

The attacks of the Pokémon this card is attached to do 30 more damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon-GX or Active Pokémon-EX (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

This card makes your attacks hit much harder specifically against the strongest villains in the game. It ignores standard weaknesses and resistances to add this extra damage before those calculations happen.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that focus on defeating powerful EX or GX Pokemon quickly. You would attach it to a Pokemon with high base damage to maximise the benefit.

Strengths
  • High damage boost
  • Targeted power
  • Secret rarity
Watch out for
  • Limited target types
  • One time use per turn
  • Requires attachment
Pro tip

Attach it to your strongest attacker just before you attack an EX or GX Pokemon for maximum effect.

Good to know

Note for the parent
