Pokémon Card of the Day: Saturday, October 24th, 2026
Metagross GX Guardians Rising 85/145
Typically, rarer Pokémon from the past aren't included in the first few sets of a new Generation, but in this case, Metagross jumps right in for Sun and Moon's second. 250 HP was the highest a Stage 2 GX could reach, and it has the typical 3 attacks/Ability.
Geotech System is very similar to Steven's Metagross ex, allowing you to attach Psychic or Metal Energy to your Pokémon. However, it's only one from the Discard Pile to your Active. Giga Hammer is okay, but 150 damage couldn't even Knock Out a Basic EX. Algorithm GX allows you to search your deck for 5 cards, but if your opponent plays N or Judge on their turn, you just wasted your GX attack.
Unfortunately, this card has pretty poor attacks, perhaps to balance out its Ability. However, the Ability isn't even that strong and could be seen on a Stage 1. This is just a scenario where a strong Pokémon gets a weak card.
