![]() However, Giratina (Origin Forme) is in the Distortion World, flying through the sky. When it comes to art, I was asked to draw the "double-rare" TAG TEAM cards as though they were all in the same space. We considered something like 100 variations of TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX, even though they won't become products. We also keep in mind stuff like whether it's a combination of Pokémon that matches our concept from important game data. We solicit ideas from within the company, with a focus on interesting combinations and stories, before making a choice. Mitsuhiro Arita: When we are coming up with ideas for TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX, we consider aspects such as whether the pair will be intuitively exciting, the story behind the two Pokémon, the synergy that lies beyond the friendship or the rival relationship, the multiplicative effects of two similar Pokémon, and what kind of combos they may unleash. Why pair these two Pokemon together and why was this card image chosen? It seems like the artwork on several of these cards tell a story - for example, Giratina and Garchomp GX shows Giratina carrying Garchomp as the pair fly through the air. Giratina and Garchomp (Photo: The Pokemon Company) Scroll down to get a look at the cards along with explanations from Nagashima and Arita about why these particular Pokemon were chosen for these cards. The new cards include powerful duos like Mewtwo & Mew and Espeon & Deoxys, along with more unusual pairings like Psyduck & Slowpoke. To find out more about how these Tag Team-GX cards are conceived, spoke with Atsushi Nagashima, the Game Director of the Pokemon Trading Card Game, and Pokemon Trading Card illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita via email about how they decided on which Pokemon to include in Tag Team-GX cards for the upcoming Unified Minds expansion of the game. Losing one of your Tag Team-GX cards in battle costs a player three prizes instead of the usual one or two, which amounts to half your prize count and is often the difference between victory and defeat. These cards are literal game-changers, but they come at a cost. While normal Pokemon cards only represent one Pokemon, the Tag Team-GX cards represent a pair of two Pokemon whose combined moves do more damage than even the most powerful "normal" Pokemon cards. The Pokemon Trading Card Game recently added powerful new Tag Team cards, but some questions remain about how Pokemon are chosen to appear on these cards.
