Price: $30.00
Garchomp ex from the Paradox Rift set clocks in as a Special Illustration Rare, and we’re talking a clean raw copy here, straight from the pack with no grading yet. The artwork on this one shows Garchomp bursting out in a dynamic pose, all fierce and ready to rumble, with that full art treatment stretching edge to edge. The holo foil dances across the sandy dunes and rocky spikes in the background, picking up light in a way that makes the dragon’s scales pop without overdoing it.
On the card text side, it’s a Stage 2 Dragon-type with a solid 320 HP. No Ability here, but the attacks pack a punch: Sonic Dive lets you discard two Energy from it to do 120 damage to one of your opponent’s Pokémon, ignoring all effects on that target. Then there’s Hydro Lander, which dishes out 150 damage and allows you to attach up to three Basic Water or Fighting Energy cards from your discard pile to your Pokémon however you like. Weakness is none, since it’s Dragon, but retreat costs one. Illustrator is 5ban Graphics, giving it that polished, intense vibe.
Paradox Rift dropped in late 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era, pulling in those future and ancient Pokémon themes. Raw copies from this set often show up with decent centering, though you might spot minor print lines on the holo or slight edge wear from factory handling—nothing crazy, but always check under good light. The card stock feels sturdy, typical for S&V prints, with a subtle texture that holds up well in sleeves.
For raw condition on this beauty, corners are sharp and untouched, no dings or bends that I can see. Edges look clean, maybe a whisper of whitening if you squint, but overall smooth sailing. Surface is pristine, free of scratches or clouding, and the holo flash is even, spreading that shimmer without any foil curling or defects. Centering sits around 60/40 on the borders, which is common for these full arts, keeping the artwork balanced enough for play or display.
Sleeve it up for your next battle or let it chill in a binder—either way, it’s got that dragon energy ready to go.
