Mega Emboar ex 273/217 Me: Ascended Heroes Holo Special Illustration Rare
Price: $65.00
Mega Emboar EX from the Ascended Heroes set, numbered 273/217, comes as a holo special illustration rare in raw condition. This one’s got that beefy fire-type vibe, evolving from Emboar with mega energy rules in play.
The artwork pops with Emboar in full mega form, flames roaring around its tusks and fists, and the holo foil scatters light in wild patterns across the card.
On the text side, it’s a Fire-type with 220 HP. Ability is Blaze Fury, letting you attach extra energy from discard once per turn if it’s your active Pokémon. Attacks include Mega Flare Punch at 150 damage, discarding an energy, and Inferno Charge for 200, but it does 30 to itself. Weak to Water, resists nothing obvious, retreat cost of three.
Ascended Heroes dropped in late 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era expansions, focusing on mega evolutions revisited with fresh illustrations. These special illustration rares often hit with decent centering out of packs, but watch for that common edge whitening on the borders from factory handling. The card stock feels thick, almost premium, though some pulls show minor print lines in the holo layer.
For raw condition, this copy sits pretty clean—corners are sharp without dings, edges smooth with no noticeable whitening or chipping, surface free of scratches or dents, and the holo flash is vibrant, no clouding or foil scratches to dull it. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, solid left-right, typical for the set’s print run.
Raw holos like this always remind me of digging through bulk bins for that one sleeper. Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a toploader—either way, it’s ready for the table.
