Gengar & Mimikyu GX
Rotated OutA high HP TAG TEAM that disrupts opponents and controls the game state.
What this card does
The Poltergeist attack reveals your opponent's hand and deals damage based on how many Trainer cards they hold.
The Horror House GX attack stops your opponent from playing cards next turn and can force both players to draw up to seven cards if you have extra energy attached.
Poltergeist
Your opponent reveals their hand. This attack does 50 damage for each Trainer card you find there. (50× damage)
This card uses its Poltergeist attack to punish opponents who carry many support items by dealing damage for each one. Its GX move is powerful because it blocks the opponent's strategy for a turn while potentially filling both hands with cards, which can overwhelm less experienced players.
Attacks
Your opponent reveals their hand. This attack does 50 damage for each Trainer card you find there.
Your opponent can’t play any cards from their hand during their next turn. If this Pokémon has at least 1 extra Psychic Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), each player draws cards until they have 7 cards in their hand. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)
Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that focus on Psychic energy and want to control the pace of the game. It works well in strategies that aim to disrupt the opponent's hand rather than just dealing direct damage.

Attach extra Psychic energy before using the GX attack to trigger the draw effect, which can help your child manage their own hand better.
Gengar and Mimikyu are both known for appearing from shadows or hiding in dark places.
Explain to your child that revealing the opponent's hand is a key part of this card's strategy, so they should look at what cards their friend has before attacking.
