Price: $74.00
Mega Emboar ex from the Ascended Heroes set, special illustration rare in raw condition. This one’s got that bold mega evolution vibe, with Emboar bulked up and flames roaring everywhere. The artwork pops with intense colors, showing it mid-charge against a fiery backdrop, and the holofoil gives off a swirling glow that shifts as you tilt it.
On the card, it’s a Fire-type with 300 HP, evolving from Emboar ex. Ability is Blaze Fury, letting you attach extra energy from discard once per turn if it’s your active Pokémon. Attacks include Inferno Rush for 200 damage that discards an energy, and Mega Blaze for 300 but you have to flip a coin or take recoil. Weak to Water, resists nothing obvious, retreat cost of three.
Ascended Heroes dropped in 2024 as part of the mega comeback series, blending old-school evos with fresh twists. Print run was decent, but these special illustrations often show up with slight centering shifts—maybe 60/40 on the borders if you’re picky. The card stock feels thick, typical for ex holos, though some pulls have minor print lines in the foil.
In raw shape, corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without whitening, surface smooth except for a tiny scratch that’s barely there under light. Centering’s solid at about 70/30 top-bottom, and the holo flash is vibrant, no clouding or dull spots. Overall, it’s a clean pull that holds up well unsleeved.
Might as well double-sleeve this beast before it sees any table time.
