PSA10 Swampert EX Rayquaza Mega Battle Promo Pokemon Card Japanese
Price: $180.00
Rayquaza ★ from EX Deoxys, the ultra-rare Gold Star version, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. That emerald beast twisting through the stars on the artwork just grabs you—raw power in every scale, like it’s about to unleash chaos from the ozone layer.
Key bits: Colorless type, 90 HP. Ability? None here, but attacks pack heat—Dragon Dance pumps up for 30 more damage next turn, and Sacred Fire flips for 100 with a burn chance if you’re lucky. Simple, brutal setup for big plays back in the day.
This set dropped in 2005, part of the EX era where Gold Stars were the chase cards, printed with that shiny holo pattern that screams premium. What makes this printing stand out? It’s the Japanese influence bleeding into English sets, with Rayquaza as a legendary dragon that defined competitive decks—folks built whole strategies around powering this thing up fast. EX Deoxys focused on space themes, and Rayquaza fit like a glove, towering over the meteorite vibes and Deoxys forms.
In the slab, centering’s on point, usually tough for these older cards with their busy borders, but a 10 means edges are crisp, no whitening, and the holo foil pops without haze. Eye appeal’s through the roof—that gold star emblem gleams under lights, making it a display piece that draws stares. Pop-wise, from what I recall in PSA reports, we’re talking under 50 in 10s worldwide, super low for such an icon, especially compared to other Gold Stars that flood the market a bit more.
I’d stash this one in a custom case, maybe next to some dragon-type buddies, just to feel that quiet nod to the old-school grind.
