#2 - Magikarp & Wailord-GX - 161/181 Team Up I'm definitely PSA grading and stockpiling a bunch of these as future investments. Not overly playable in tournaments and being mass released as the promo card in the Hidden Fates Elite Trainer Box, means you can still pick this card up now for $7-8 or there abouts.
What makes this card even more amazing is that it is by far the cheapest card on this list. The use of colours and textures really makes the card pop. What really sets this out from other alternate art Tag Team GXs though is how beautiful it is in person. Much has been written on this blog before about this stunning stained glass promo card featuring all three Gen 1 legendary birds. #3 - Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno-GX - SM210 Sun & Moon Promo This card also has a ton of potential in tournaments due to it's GX attack, and will likely increase in price from its $25-30 value at the moment. In the recent Detective Pikachu movie, we also see these three as statues in the back of Howard Clifford's office, which is a nice nod to those Pokémon that aren't actually properly seen in person throughout the movie. This card may not look much from the image, but I can assure you that in person, the statue forms of the Gen 4 "Creation Trio" Arceus, Dialga and Palkia really pops and sticks out from the surface of the card.
#4 - Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX - 221/236 Cosmic Eclipse It's easy for parents and other people alike to relate with Mewtwo's feelings of being fed up with his caregiver/babysitting role, and Mew laughing and having a great time all the while! Combined with this card being probably the most powerful tournament card on our list, it's a very worthy inclusion. This card also possibly tells the best "story" from all the alternate art Tag Team GXs.
#5 - Mewtwo & Mew-GX - SM191 Sun & Moon Promoįeaturing possibly two of the most iconic Pokémon on our list, this card received a ton of hype and love ever since the GX Tag Team tins were released in September 2019. Combined with the sunset in the background, this is a real beauty of a card that is often also purchased by casual fans to gift to their partners or loved ones! It's easy to see why, Latias and Latios have always been a popular legendary duo, but having their bodies forming a heart shape in the middle is a master-stroke of genius. #6 - Latias & Latios-GX - 170/181 Team Upĭespite being possibly seeing the least amount of play in tournaments from the cards on our list, this alternate art Tag Team GX manages to buck all the trends, and still regularly sells for $25+ (USD). If they could be included, the beautiful Togepi & Cleffa & Igglybuff-GX from SM12a would definitely be in the Top 6! This list will not comprise of the few Tag Team GX cards yet to be released in English, as we are unlikely to see most of them until our August mini in 2020, and due to the larger amount of text needed, it might end up ruining the design slightly. The most popular of these have to be the "alternate art" Tag Team GX cards, which aside from the regular art GXs, are the ones that give the artists the most freedom and creativity in which to express their talents. Let's take a closer look at our favourites!ĭespite new additions (such as hyper/rainbow rares) to the Pokémon TCG not being overly popular among traditional collectors, many have been enjoying seeing two (or more!) of their favourite Pokémon teaming up on the new Tag Team GX cards. Since Sun & Moon: Team Up released earlier in the year, we've been blessed with many gorgeous and simply COOL alternate art Tag Team GX Pokémon cards.
