Solgaleo GX and Lunala GX: Pokemon GX Mechanic Revealed at Worlds!
The first Sun and Moon set will feature new Pokemon GX! At Worlds, Lunala GX and Solgaleo GX were revealed!
Each Pokemon features a “GX attack,” and as a player you can only use one GX attack per game! “Each Pokémon-GX has a maximum of two attacks in addition to its GX attack.
