Pokémon Salamence GX Full Art Promo Holo SM139 250 HP Card
Pokémon Salamence GX Full Art Promo Holo SM139 250 HP Card
Price: $18.00
Salamence GX from the SM Black Star Promos, card number SM139, comes as a full art holo rarity in raw condition. This one’s a beast of a card, evolving from Shelgon into a Stage 2 Dragon type with that imposing full art spread showing Salamence roaring mid-flight against a stormy backdrop. The holo foil really pops when you tilt it, scattering light across the wings and scales like a dragon’s breath catching fire.
On the card text side, it’s packing 250 HP, which makes it a tank in battles. Its Ability is Dragon Lift, letting you ignore Retreat Costs for your Dragon Pokémon if they have any Energy attached. Attacks include Bright Flame for 200 damage but you discard two Energy, and Dragon Strike that hits for 130 and can only be used once per game. Then there’s the GX move, Crimson Wings GX, dealing 100 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon—perfect for clearing the field if you’ve got the extra Energy.
This promo dropped in 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon era’s Black Star lineup, often bundled in special boxes or events. Raw copies from these sets sometimes show up with minor centering shifts, especially on the borders where the full art bleeds to the edges, and the card stock feels a bit thicker than standard packs, which helps with durability but can lead to slight whitening if not handled carefully.
Speaking of raw condition, let’s break it down: corners are sharp without dings, edges clean and free of chips or wear, surface smooth with no scratches or print lines marring the artwork. The holo flash is vibrant, no clouding or fading, and centering looks solid at about 60/40 top-bottom, which is decent for a promo print run that wasn’t always laser-precise.
Sleeve it up for your deck or let it chill in a binder—either way, it’s got that dragon vibe going strong.
