Pokémon TCG: Pikachu EX XY124 Full Art Holo XY Black Star Promo NM
Price: $51.98
Pikachu EX from the XY Black Star Promos, card number XY124, comes as a full art holo rarity in raw condition. This one’s got that classic Pikachu vibe, all charged up and ready for battle, with the artwork showing the little guy mid-spark, ears perked and cheeks glowing. The holo foil spreads across the whole card, catching light in a way that makes the electric effects pop without overwhelming the details.
On the card text side, it’s a Lightning-type Basic Pokémon EX with 130 HP. No Ability here, but the attacks pack a punch: first is Thunder Lance for 30 damage plus 10 more for each benched Pokémon (yours and opponent’s), and then Mega Thunderbolt hits for 160 but you have to discard all attached Energy. Simple setup, makes it a solid early-game sweeper if you’re building around energy acceleration.
This promo dropped back in 2015 as part of the XY era’s Black Star lineup, often bundled with tins or special collections. Raw copies from this printing can have some quirks—like the card stock feels a bit thicker than standard sets, which helps with durability, but centering might drift a tad on the borders, especially the bottom edge. Edges usually come out clean from the pack, though you gotta watch for any factory whitening if it’s been handled roughly. Surfaces on these holos tend to stay swirl-free if stored right, avoiding those pesky scratches that plague older foils. Corners? Sharp as a Pikachu tail most times, but promos like this sometimes show minor dings from bulk storage. The holo flash is even, with that rainbow sheen that shifts nicely under light, no heavy clouding unless it’s seen some wear.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it ride solo in a top loader—whatever floats your boat.
