The “Best TAG TEAM Pokémon Cards” represent some of the most powerful, valuable, and iconic cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), especially from the Sun & Moon era. TAG TEAM cards feature two or sometimes three Pokémon working together, boasting higher HP and stronger attacks compared to regular cards. However, the risk is greater since knocking out a TAG TEAM card awards the opponent three Prize cards instead of one, making their use a strategic decision in battles.

Among the strongest and most celebrated TAG TEAM Pokémon cards is the Mewtwo & Mew GX from the “Tag Team GX Tag All Stars” set. This Psychic-type duo is renowned for its versatility and power, with nearly 270 HP and the unique Ability “Perfection”, which allows it to use the attacks of any Pokémon on the bench or in the discard pile, provided the energy costs are met. Its GX attack, “Miraculous Duo”, delivers significant damage while healing all friendly Pokémon, making it a formidable and flexible choice in competitive play.

Another top contender is the Pikachu & Zekrom GX from the “Tag Bolt” expansion. This Electric-type pair is famous for its synergy and energy acceleration capabilities. Their “Full Blitz” attack deals decent damage and attaches Lightning Energy to themselves or an ally, setting up for the powerful GX attack “Tag Bolt”, which can hit both the opponent’s Active and Benched Pokémon for massive damage. Despite the GX move being usable only once per game, the card’s ability to stack energy quickly makes it a staple in many decks.

The Arceus & Dialga & Palkia GX card stands out as the only TAG TEAM trio and is highly valued for its unique triple Pokémon composition. This Alter Genesis card combines the power of three legendary Pokémon, offering strong attacks and strategic advantages, though its price has seen some fluctuation over time.

In terms of value and collectability, the Latios & Latias GX card from “Tag Bolt” is considered the crown jewel of TAG TEAM cards. Its beautiful alternate full art and enduring popularity have made it the most valuable TAG TEAM card from the Sun & Moon era, with prices soaring into the US$800 range for near-mint copies. This card exemplifies the blend of aesthetic appeal and gameplay strength that TAG TEAM cards can offer.
