What this card does

The card has 270 HP and requires Psychic energy to attack.

It can deal 230 damage using the Cosmic Burn attack, but cannot use it again next turn.

It can use the Light of the Protector GX attack for 200 damage if you played Lillie's Full Force earlier in the turn.

Signature attack

Cosmic Burn

This Pokémon can’t use Cosmic Burn during your next turn. (230 damage)

The key feature is the Light of the Protector GX ability. It acts as a shield that stops your Pokemon from taking any damage for one full turn, provided you used Lillie's Full Force earlier. This makes it very hard for your opponent to defeat your team quickly.

If you played Lillie’s Full Force from your hand during this turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to each of your Pokémon during your opponent’s next turn. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Which deck it belongs in

This card suits decks built around Psychic types and those that include Lillie's Full Force. It works well in control strategies where protecting your Pokemon is more important than attacking immediately.

Strengths
  • Very high health
  • Strong defensive shield
  • High damage output
Watch out for
  • Cannot attack next turn after Cosmic Burn
  • Requires specific support card
  • Weak to Psychic type
Pro tip

Use Lillie's Full Force early in the turn to set up the shield, then use Light of the Protector GX to protect your Pokemon from the opponent's counter-attack.

From the Pokédex

Solgaleo and Lunala are legendary Pokemon often depicted as twin deities in Pokemon lore.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only use one GX attack per game, so they should choose carefully between the big damage attack and the protective shield.
