078/182 Gourgeist (Trick or treat 2024) (Paradox Rift) Pokémon card (English)

Gourgeist is an Uncommon Psychic-type Pokémon from the Pokémon TCG – Trick or Trade 2024 Halloween collection, featuring the original card artwork and numbering from Scarlet & Violet: Paradox Rift.

This special Halloween-themed variant is a collectible version of the Paradox Rift Gourgeist, distributed as part of the 2024 Trick or Trade BOOster Bundle. It is a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Pumpkaboo and features 110 HP.

Its Startling Pumpkin Ability creates an interesting disruption effect: when Gourgeist is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, that opponent must discard two random cards from their hand. This can make attacking Gourgeist a costly decision, potentially disrupting the opponent's strategy.

Its Shadow Bind attack deals 100 damage and prevents the opponent's Active Pokémon from retreating during their next turn. This adds another layer of battlefield control, making Gourgeist a useful disruptive Pokémon for casual Psychic-type strategies.

The Trick or Trade 2024 edition adds collectible Halloween appeal to an otherwise familiar Paradox Rift card, making it an interesting addition for Pokémon collectors, Halloween set enthusiasts and fans of Ghost-type Pokémon.
