This expansion is widely considered one of the best sets of the Sun \u0026amp; Moon era due to the sheer number of playable cards it introduced. The set featured the four island deities—Tapu Koko-GX, Tapu Lele-GX, Tapu Bulu-GX, and Tapu Fini-GX—each bringing unique strengths to the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTapu Lele-GX and Garbodor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undisputed king (or queen) of this set was \"Tapu Lele-GX.\" Its \"Wonder Tag\" ability, which searched for a Supporter card when played, made it the single most important consistency card in the format, appearing in nearly every competitive deck. But for every hero, there is a villain. \"Garbodor\" with its \"Trashalanche\" attack punished opponents for playing Item cards, dealing massive damage for a single energy. This dynamic duo of consistency and punishment defined the competitive scene for years, securing \u003cstrong\u003eSun \u0026amp; Moon—Guardians Rising\u003c\/strong\u003e as a legendary expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/1451\/9121\/collections\/logo_square_f5486ed9-5fd4-4133-9b32-e7547cb4a2dc.png?v=1767889817","url":"https:\/\/tcgshops.com\/collections\/sm2-guardians-rising\/english.oembed","provider":"TCG Shops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
