Mega Emboar EX from the Unified Minds set, card number 031/217, clocks in as an ultra rare holo, and this one’s in raw near mint condition straight out of a pack pull. The artwork shows this massive pig beast mega-evolving with flames bursting everywhere, the holo foil giving it that intense glow under shop lights, like it’s ready to roast the competition. It’s a Fire-type with a beefy 300 HP, evolving from Emboar-EX, and its ability lets you attach extra Energy from your discard pile once per turn, setting up for some heavy hits. The main attack, Inferno Charge, dishes out 200 damage but requires discarding two Energy, while the secondary one blasts for 150 with a chance to burn the opponent’s Active Pokémon—classic mega EX power play without too much fluff.
This card dropped in the 2019 Unified Minds expansion, part of the Sun & Moon era where mega evolutions were wrapping up before the shift to V cards. Printing quirks on these often include slight off-centering on the holo pattern, especially around the borders, and the card stock feels a bit thicker than earlier sets, which helps with durability but can show edge wear if not handled right. In raw form, collectors hunt these for clean copies since the set had decent pull rates, but miscuts happen, like tiny whitening on corners from factory edges.
Speaking of condition, this copy’s corners are sharp with no dings, edges show minimal whitening—just a faint line on one side from pack friction—and the surface is smooth without scratches, letting that holo flash pop when you tilt it. Centering looks solid at about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for the print run, and no print lines or hazing to spoil the view.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it sit raw on the shelf—either way, it’s got that porky presence.
