Hop’s Zacian Ex Journey Together SIR Rare SSP Full Art 186/159 Hops Zacian SV-09
Price: $62.50
That Zacian ex from Journey Together, the #186/159 Special Illustration Rare, sitting here in raw condition. It’s a full art pull, with Hop right there alongside the legendary dog, sword in mouth, charging into some epic battle scene. The holo pattern spreads across the whole card, catching light in these wavy bursts that make the metal shine pop without trying too hard.
On the text side, it’s a Metal type with 220 HP. Got that Intrepid Sword Ability letting you search your deck for a Metal Energy and attach it once per turn, setting up for big swings. Attacks include Brave Blade at 200 damage, but you skip your next turn after, and a weaker Metal Slash for 70 if you’re building slow. Classic Zacian vibe, all about speed and power in metal decks.
This set dropped back in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet wave, a special release tying into the Journeys anime vibes with character tie-ins like Hop. Printing quirks show up sometimes—full arts like this can have slight centering drifts on the borders, especially around the holo foil edges, and the card stock feels a bit thicker than standard SV pulls, which helps with durability but watch for factory miscuts on the bottom.
For raw details, corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without whitening, surface smooth aside from the usual holo scratches that come from pack handling. Centering looks solid at about 60/40 top-bottom, nothing wild, and the holo flash is even, giving that subtle depth to Hop and Zacian’s poses. It’s one of those cards that feels fresh out of the pack, no major flaws jumping out.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
