Tapu Koko will also be coming to the Pokemon trading card game with the new Pokémon Trading Card Game: Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion and numerous special collections. The art of the Pokémon is featured on booster packs, shown soaring over the land it protects. The Tapu Koko-GX card also soars with its incredible Aero Trail Ability and potent Sky-High Claws attack, and Tapu Koko-GX’s devastating Tapu Thunder-GX attack has the potential to shift a battle in a flash.
Trainers have it easy! When I was growing up with the original Pokémon games; we would have to either mail in our cartridges to have rare legendaries loaded on to the game by Nintendo crew or wait for special Pokémon events. I will say, Nintendo has made it easier over the years for the players to get ahold of legendary Pokémon. I remember when I was 11 years old and received my first Mew.
It’s always amazing to see that new generations are able to experience the joy and happiness a rare legendary brings to their roster of adorable Pocket Monsters. So, if you are a collector at heart or you just want to grab something shiny. Now’s your chance!
