Pokémon Cynthia’s Garchomp EX Full Art Holo 232/182 Destined Rivals SIR
Price: $210.00
Garchomp ex 232/182 from the Paradox Rift set, special illustration rare, sitting in raw near-mint condition. This one’s got that full art treatment showing Cynthia’s fierce dragon in a dynamic pose, with the holo foil popping under any decent light source. It’s a Dragon-type ex with 320 HP, packing an Ability called Crushing Step that lets you discard an Energy from it to do 10 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon—handy for chipping away at setups. Attacks include Sonic Dive for 120 damage that ignores effects on the defending Pokémon but discards two Energy, and Hydro Lander which attaches up to three basic Fighting Energy from your discard pile to your Pokémon while dealing 150. Solid mix for aggressive plays, especially in decks leaning on energy acceleration.
Paradox Rift dropped back in late 2023, part of the Scarlet & Violet era, and these SIR pulls often come with that premium card stock that’s thicker than your average base set stuff. Raw copies from this print run sometimes show up with slight centering shifts—maybe 60/40 on the borders if you’re picky—but the holo pattern holds up well without much swirling or print lines. Edges on this one are clean, no whitening creeping in from handling, and corners stay sharp, avoiding those dings that plague bulk pulls. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or clouding that can dull the artwork, and the holo flash gives off a crisp rainbow sheen when tilted just right, like it’s ready to burst out of the card. If you’re hunting these, watch for any factory miscuts, but most raw examples feel solid straight from the pack. Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a top loader—either way, it’s got that collector vibe.
