PSA 10 HO-OH GX Hyper Rare 059/051 Battle Rainbow Pokemon Card Japanese 2017
Price: $975.00
Ho-Oh GX 059/051 from the Japanese Battle Rainbow subset, a Hyper Rare pull, locked in PSA 10. That artwork captures the legendary bird mid-flight, wings ablaze with rainbow flames trailing behind—simple but hits like a classic phoenix vibe.
On the card text, it’s Fire-type with 190 HP. Ability is Eternal Flame GX, letting you attach up to three basic Energy from discard to your Pokémon once per game (GX rule applies). Attacks include Sacred Fire for 50 damage with a coin flip to burn, and Phoenix Burn for 180 but prevents attacking next turn. Solid for fire decks that cycle energy fast.
This printing dropped in 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon era expansions in Japan, standing out because Battle Rainbow focused on tag team vibes and rainbow aesthetics, making Ho-Oh a thematic fit with its multicolored fire motif. Unlike English versions, the Japanese text pops cleaner, and this subset had some unique holos that collectors dig for that old-school international flair. It’s not the most common Ho-Oh GX out there, but it ties into the legendary duo lore with Lugia counterparts in the same era.
In the slab, PSA 10 means pristine edges, no whitening, and centering that’s likely dead-on—eye appeal is high with that vibrant foil shining through the case without a scratch. Corners sharp as a beak, surfaces clean like fresh ash. Pop reports show these in 10 aren’t flooding the market; estimates put graded 10s under 50 worldwide, based on what I’ve seen in registries, though exact numbers fluctuate with submissions.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to some fire-type evos, just for that slab pop feeling when the light catches the rainbow holo.
