Mega Emboar EX from the Ascended Heroes set, marked as 273/217, comes in as a special illustration rare in raw condition. This one’s got that beefy fire-type vibe, with the artwork showing Emboar mega-evolved into a massive, flame-wreathed powerhouse, muscles rippling under the holo sheen that scatters light in every direction when you tilt it just right.
On the card text, it’s a Fire type with 250 HP, packing an Ability called Inferno Charge that lets you attach extra Energy from your discard pile once per turn. Attacks include Blaze Barrage for 150 damage, which discards an Energy but hits hard, and the big one, Volcanic Fury doing 200 with a coin flip for even more burn if you’re lucky. Rules box reminds you it’s a Mega Evolution, so your turn ends when you evolve into it.
This set dropped back in 2023, part of the Scarlet & Violet era expansions focusing on alternate art and mega throwbacks, printed on that standard stock with the usual holofoil layer. Raw copies often show up with minor centering shifts—maybe 60/40 on the borders if you’re picky—and the card stock can have a slight curl from humidity, especially on these illustration rares where the art bleeds to the edges.
In terms of raw condition, expect clean corners that hold up without dings if handled right, edges that might have faint whitening from shuffling but nothing major on a fresh pull. The surface stays pretty scratch-free, though watch for those tiny print lines that sometimes sneak in on the holo pattern. That holo flash pops under light, giving the flames a real glow without overwhelming the details. Overall, it’s a solid raw piece for any fire deck builder or collector eyeing those mega designs.
Sleeve it up for a quick game or let it sit in a binder—up to you.
