Pokémon Salamence ex 177/159 Ultra Rare Full Art Holo Dragon 320HP 300 Attack
Price: $10.00
Salamence ex from the Dragon typing, numbered 177/159, comes as an ultra rare full art holo in raw near mint shape. This one’s got that massive presence on the table, with the artwork showing Salamence roaring mid-flight against a stormy backdrop. The holo pattern swirls across the full card, catching light in wild patterns that make it pop under shop fluorescents.
It’s a Stage 2 Dragon-type Pokémon with a beefy 320 HP. No Ability listed, but its attacks pack a punch—Wing Attack does 120 damage for some basic hits, and then the big one, Paradise Drago, slams for 300 but discards all attached Energy. Energy costs mix Fire and Water for that heavy hitter, making it a combo beast if you’ve got the setup. You evolve it from Shelgon, so it’s all about building that line in your deck.
This card hails from the Crown Zenith set, released back in 2023 as the final Sword & Shield era drop. Sets like this often had quirky print runs—think off-center borders on some pulls, or that slight curl from the thick card stock. Raw copies from Crown Zenith can show minor factory marks, but clean ones feel solid in hand. For condition, we’re talking sharp corners without dings, clean white edges that haven’t seen much shuffling, and a surface free of scratches or whitening. The holo flash is vibrant, no clouding or dull spots, just that crisp foil shine that reflects back at you. Centering looks about 60/40 on the borders, typical for these full arts, but no major shifts that throw off the look. Overall, it’s a sturdy raw piece straight from a fresh pack.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the shelf.
