Gigalith 50/119 · Phantom Forces

Gigalith is Pokédex #526, generation 5 (Unova). Gigalith is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Boldore. In this catalog that name is Boldore (#525).

Gigalith sits at 50/119 in Phantom Forces, position 51 of 124. Before it is 49 Boldore, and after it is 51 Murkrow. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on November 5, 2014. The printed size is 119. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

High Density Armor is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon has full HP, any damage done to this Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 50 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Overdrive Smash lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. During your next turn, this Pokémon's Overdrive Smash attack does 40 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "The solar rays it absorbs are processed in its energy core and fired as a ball of light."

Gigalith (#526) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Gigalith 53/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 3. 5 other cards of Gigalith list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Akira Komayama. I count 239 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Phantom Forces set binder is where a full Phantom Forces set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gigalith can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
