Pokemon Mega Emboar ex 273/217 Illustration Rare Ascended Heroes – NM
Price: $56.99
Mega Emboar ex from the Ascended Heroes set, numbered 273/217, hits as an ultra rare in raw condition. This one’s a full art illustration rare, with that mega evolution vibe turning the fiery boar into a massive powerhouse. The artwork shows Emboar mid-roar, flames bursting everywhere, and the holo pattern catches light in wild swirls that make it pop under a lamp.
On the card text, it’s a Fire type with 260 HP. No Ability here, but the attacks pack heat—Inferno Charge does 180 damage and lets you attach up to three Energy from your discard pile to this Pokémon, while the mega rule means it evolves from Emboar ex and ends your turn when you play it. Costs a bunch of Fire Energy for those big swings, typical for these beefy ex cards.
Ascended Heroes dropped in 2024, part of the Scarlet & Violet block’s experimental waves, pulling in some gen 5 favorites with mega twists that weren’t in the games. Raw copies from this print run often show up with slight centering shifts—maybe 60/40 on the borders if you’re picky—and the card stock feels thicker than base sets, less prone to dings but watch for print lines in the holo foil.
For raw condition, expect clean corners that hold up without whitening, edges smooth from the factory cut, though some packs leave faint silvering if not handled right. Surface is usually scratch-free, with that deep holo flash holding strong, no clouding or haze messing with the shine. Centering might lean a tad to one side, but it’s playable straight out of the booster.
Sleeve it for a deck or let it chill in a binder—up to you.
