Price: $42.48
Dragonite EX from the XY Evolutions set, card number 106/108, clocks in as an Ultra Rare full art pull. We’re talking raw condition here, the kind collectors chase for that untouched vibe without any grading slab drama. The artwork pops with Dragonite soaring through stormy skies, wings flared and energy crackling—those full art borders let the colors bleed edge to edge, and the holo foil shimmers under light like it’s got its own weather system brewing.
On the card text side, it’s a Dragon-type basic Pokémon-EX with 180 HP. No evolution needed since it’s an EX, but it packs the Pull Up Ability: when you evolve into it from your hand, snag two Basic Pokémon (non-EX) from your discard pile back to your hand. Attacks wise, Hyper Beam dishes out 130 damage and forces your opponent to discard an Energy from their Active. Weak to Fairy, resists nothing obvious, and retreat costs three—solid for a heavy hitter in Expanded formats where it can recycle basics like a boss.
Evolutions dropped back in 2016 as a throwback to the Base Set era, celebrating 20 years of Pokémon with reprints and nods to classics. This Dragonite EX is a modern twist on the original Dragonite vibe, but raw copies often show up with centering quirks—expect some off-kilter borders on pulls from packs, especially on the full art versions where the image dominates. The card stock is that sturdy XY-era feel, not too glossy but holds up well if stored right. Print runs were hefty, so raw examples float around, but finding one without factory dings takes some hunting.
For raw condition details, let’s break it down: corners should be sharp, no whitening or bends from rough handling. Edges might have minor silvering if it’s seen sleeve time, but a clean one stays crisp without chips. Surface is key—watch for scratches on that expansive full art foil; holo flash is vibrant, pulling in light without haze or print lines mucking it up. Centering ideally hits 50/50 top-bottom, maybe 60/40 sides, but Evolutions packs weren’t always perfect.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride raw—either way, it’s got that dragon energy flowing.
