The Hops Zacian EX SIR from Crown Zenith, card 186/159, is a Special Illustration Rare full art in English. We’re talking raw condition here, the kind that looks sharp out of the pack but with those usual factory tells. It’s got that mythical dog vibe, Zacian posed with Hop in a dynamic scene, sword in mouth, ready for battle. The artwork pops with metallic blues and golds, and the holo pattern swirls across the blade like it’s slicing through light.
Key text keeps it simple: it’s a Metal type with 220 HP. Ability is Brave Blade, letting you search for a Metal Energy once per turn if it’s your Active Pokémon. Attacks include Metal Slash for 130 damage with two Metal Energy, discarding one after, and a beefier one for three Energy doing 220 but benching it next turn. No weakness to Fire like some steels, resistance to Grass, retreat cost of two.
Crown Zenith dropped in 2023 as the last Sword & Shield set, mixing Galarian Gallery pulls with shiny twists. This SIR printing often shows up with decent centering—maybe 60/40 on a good day—but watch for print lines on the holo foil, common in these full arts. Raw copies from this era hold up well if stored right, though edges can chip easy from shuffling.
In raw shape, corners are crisp without dings, edges white and even, no whitening spots. Surface is smooth, minimal scratches, and the holo flash is bright under angle, no clouding. Centering sits balanced, borders even top to bottom. It’s one of those pulls that feels solid in hand, no bends or creases mucking it up.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—keeps the shine going.
