Fighting Gong

Fighting Gong has appeared in several sets: Mega Evolution (MEG 116) and Ascended Heroes (ASC 187). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • Mega Lucario ex runs it in 26 of the 26 lists we have read, seen across 24 different tournaments.
  • No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
  • Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

You've just read a page about the game. We can do far more with one match.

Everything above is about the game in general. The thing we're really good at is one single match: yours. When a game ends, Pokémon TCG Live leaves you a log — the written record of everything that happened, turn by turn. Paste it here and we'll replay each of your decisions hundreds of times, then tell you which one actually cost you the game.

It's free and there's no account to make. Your log stays in your browser: your browser is what replays the game.
