Pokémon TCG Cynthia’s Garchomp ex SV9a 087/063 SAR Full Art Holo Japanese
Price: $199.98
Garchomp ex from the Raging Surf set, clocking in at number 087 out of 062—wait, some printings list it as 063, but you know how those Japanese sets roll with their numbering quirks. It’s a Special Art Rare, full art holo in Japanese, and we’re talking a clean raw copy here, straight from the pack without any grading drama.
The artwork pops with Cynthia standing tall beside her beastly Garchomp, all dramatic poses against a stormy backdrop. That holo foil spreads across the whole card, catching light in waves that make the dragon’s scales shimmer like they’re ready to burst out.
On the text side, this one’s a Dragon-type with a beefy 320 HP. Its Ability, Sonic Gale, lets you discard a Stadium card to draw two cards—handy for keeping the momentum. Attacks wise, you’ve got Hydro Lander for 220 damage if you attach up to three Basic Water Energy from discard to your bench, and it’s got that Tera trait to avoid bench damage. Weak to Fairy, no resistance, retreat cost of two. Standard ex rule applies, so two Prize cards when KO’d.
Raging Surf dropped in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era, focusing on those Tera Pokémon with a water and dragon vibe. Raw copies from this set often show up with decent centering, but watch for the usual Japanese print stock—it’s a bit thinner than English cards, prone to minor edge wear if not handled right. Centering tends to hover around 60/40 on the holo borders, nothing too wild.
For raw condition, this one’s got sharp corners, no dings or whitening. Edges are clean, minimal silvering even on close inspection. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or print lines, and that holo flash is vibrant without any clouding or foil scratches. Back side’s pristine too, no whitening or marks.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a toploader—either way, it’s got that raw appeal.
