What this card does

Charge Beam lets you attach an Energy card from the discard pile to Vikavolt GX.

Super Zap Cannon deals 180 damage but costs two Energy cards from Vikavolt GX.

Gigatron GX deals 60 damage to all of your opponent's Benched Pokémon.

Signature attack

Super Zap Cannon

Discard 2 Energy from this Pokémon. (180 damage)

Gigatron GX is a unique attack that hits every Pokémon on your opponent's bench for 60 damage. This matters because it clears out their support cards and weakens their strategy quickly.

Which deck it belongs in

This card suits aggressive Lightning decks that want to overwhelm the opponent with wide attacks. It works best in decks that can easily recover Energy from the discard pile.

  • Energy recovery option
Watch out for
  • Vulnerable to Fighting types

Pro tip

Use Charge Beam to keep Vikavolt GX powered up so you can unleash Gigatron GX when the opponent has multiple Pokémon on their bench.

From the Pokédex

Vikavolt generates electricity in its pincers and uses them to stun prey before eating it.

Note for the parent

Remind your child they can only use one GX attack per game, so they should choose Gigatron GX carefully when it will make the biggest difference.
