Pokemon 2025 Hops Zacian EX Full Art Sir Journey Together Card 186/159

Price: $32.00

Zacian EX from the Journey Together set, card number 186/159, clocks in as a secret rare with that full art flair. We’re talking a clean raw copy here, straight from a fresh pack pull, no grading yet but holding up nicely under scrutiny. The artwork pops with Zacian mid-charge alongside Hop, sword gleaming in a dynamic pose that draws your eye right to the action—holo foil scatters light in all directions, giving it a subtle depth without overwhelming the details.

On the card text side, it’s a Basic Pokémon EX, Steel type with 220 HP. Ability is Intrepid Sword, letting you search your deck for up to three Energy cards and attach them to this Pokémon once per turn, then shuffle. Attacks include Brave Blade for 130 damage, but you can’t attack next turn, and a beefier one like Sacred Sword doing 200 with a discard of two Energy. Rules box reminds you that when your Pokémon EX is Knocked Out, opponent takes two Prize cards—standard EX stuff.

This set dropped back in 2023 as a special release tying into the Sword & Shield era’s end, blending characters like Hop with legendary Pokémon in full art treatments. Common quirks on these raw prints? Centering can drift a bit on the borders, especially the bottom edge, and the card stock feels a tad thinner than base set cards, prone to minor edge wear if not sleeved right away. Holo pattern is that swirling cosmic style, which holds up well but shows fingerprints easily if you’re not careful with handling.

For raw condition, corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without whitening—maybe a faint line here or there from pack friction. Surface is smooth, no scratches marring the foil, and the centering sits around 60/40 top-bottom, pretty typical for these secrets. Holo flash is even, catching that metallic sheen when tilted, no clouding or defects popping out.

Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a toploader—either way, it’s ready for the collection.
