Pokémon TCG: Mabosstiff ex Box

Play like a boss with Mabosstiff ex! Mabosstiff is usually gentle, but it can appear intimidating as it bares its teeth while protecting its allies. You’ll find Mabosstiff ex here as a foil promo card in playable and oversize versions along with the Rascal Pokémon Maschiff—appearing as a foil card for the first time. There’s also a code card for Pokémon TCG Live, which includes copies of both the foil Maschiff and Mabosstiff ex for online play.

If you’re looking to join forces with this Pokémon ex and deliver a daunting blow, look no further than its Proud Fangs attack. Proud Fangs does 100 damage on its own, and an extra 120 damage if any of your Benched Pokémon are damaged. You can try using Gapejaw Bog and Damage Pump to ensure that one of your Benched Pokémon always has a damage counter to get maximum value from this loyal Pokémon’s strongest attack.

The Pokémon TCG: Mabosstiff ex Box includes:

  • 1 foil promo card featuring Mabosstiff ex
  • 1 foil card featuring Maschiff
  • 1 oversize foil card featuring Mabosstiff ex
  • 4 Pokémon TCG booster packs
