M Rayquaza EX 76/108 from Celebrations Classic Collection, Ultra Rare, CGC 10 Pristine. This one’s a beast of a card, the mega evolution that defined an era. You know it – that towering dragon form, all coiled up with those energy streams whipping around like it’s about to unleash chaos. The artwork captures Rayquaza mid-roar, emerald and black scales popping against the stormy background. It’s got that intense vibe, like the artist’s saying, “Yeah, this thing owns the skies.”
On the card text side, it’s a Dragon type with 220 HP. The big draw is its attack, Emerald Break, which does 30 damage times the number of your Benched Pokémon – stack those Rayquaza and watch opponents sweat. No Ability here, but that attack alone can swing games if you’re running a dedicated deck. Weak to Fairy, resists nothing, retreat cost of one. Simple, brutal efficiency for competitive play back in the day.
This printing dropped in 2021 as part of the Pokémon 25th Anniversary Celebrations set, reprinting classics from earlier expansions. What stands out is how it pulls from the 2015 Roaring Skies set, where M Rayquaza first dominated. Celebrations gave it a fresh holo treatment with that subtle 25th logo stamp, making it a nod to history without changing the core appeal. Not as chase-heavy as the original, but it’s got that nostalgic pull for collectors who remember building around it.
In the slab, this CGC 10 Pristine means flawless all around – centering dead on, edges sharp as a knife, corners pristine, surface without a hint of wear. Eye appeal is strong with the full art holo shine; it gleams under light like it’s alive. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, CGC has around 50 or so in 10 Pristine for this card, though numbers fluctuate with submissions. It’s not flooding the scene, which keeps it interesting for slab hunters.
I’d display this front and center in a case, maybe next to some older EX cards for that evolution timeline feel.
