Zacian EX from the Journey Together set, card number 186/159, clocks in as a secret rare with that full art flair, and we’re talking a solid raw copy here that’s been handled with care. The artwork pops with Zacian charging forward alongside what looks like Hop in the background, sword gleaming under dynamic lighting that gives the whole scene a heroic vibe, especially how the holo pattern shimmers across the metallic edges.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Steel-type Pokémon EX with 220 HP. Its Ability, Intrepid Sword, lets you search your deck for up to three Steel Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon once per turn, setting up some serious momentum. Attacks include Brave Blade at 200 damage, but you can’t attack next turn, and a weaker Metal Slash for 70 that ignores Resistance—classic high-risk, high-reward setup for aggressive decks.
This one dropped in the Journey Together set back in 2023, wrapping up some Sword & Shield vibes while teasing Scarlet & Violet mechanics. It’s from the English print run, where centering can be hit or miss—lots of copies lean left on the borders, and the card stock feels a tad thinner than base sets, prone to minor edge dings if not sleeved right away. Raw quirks often show up in the holo foil, with occasional clouding from factory handling, but clean ones like this avoid the usual print lines that plague secret rares.
Diving into condition, this raw copy boasts sharp corners without any whitening or bends, edges smooth as fresh pack pulls with no noticeable chipping along the sides. The surface is pristine, free of scratches or dents, and that holo flash is vibrant, catching light without haze or swirl marks—centering sits at about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for the set but not disqualifying it from a potential grade. Overall, it’s a clean hunter’s find, edges holding up better than most from this era.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it shine in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the collection.
