Price: $14.64
Absol EX from the XY Black Star Promos, card number XY62, hits as a promo rarity in raw condition. This one’s a full art piece, with Absol looming all shadowy and intense against a stormy backdrop. The holo foil spreads across the whole card, giving it that deep, swirling shine when you tilt it under light—almost like the disaster theme is pulling you in.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness-type Pokémon-EX with 170 HP. Its Ability is Cursed Eyes: when you bench it from your hand, you can shift up to 3 damage counters from one of your opponent’s Pokémon to another. Attacks include Disaster Strike for 120 damage, but you have to discard 2 Energy from it to pull that off. No weakness to Fairy like some Darkness types, but it resists Psychic and has a retreat cost of 2. Pretty straightforward for building around spread damage or messing with your opponent’s board state.
This promo dropped back in 2014 as part of the XY era Black Star series, often bundled in tins or special collections. Raw copies from these print runs can show up with decent centering if you’re lucky, though some have that slight off-center holo bleed that’s common in promos. The card stock feels thick and sturdy, typical for EX cards of the time, holding up well without much whitening unless it’s been shuffled hard.
Speaking of raw details, let’s say this copy’s corners are sharp, no dings or bends that scream mishandling. Edges look clean, maybe a tiny bit of factory roughness on the sides but nothing that chips away at the vibe. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or print lines, and the holo flash pops without any clouding—turn it sideways, and those dark swirls really come alive. Centering’s about 60/40 on the borders, which is solid for a promo pull, keeping the artwork framed nicely without cropping into the edges.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a top loader—dealer’s choice.
