Flygon GX from Cosmic Eclipse, clocking in at 256/236 as a secret rare rainbow holo full art, hits the table in raw condition straight from the pack. This one’s a beast in its ungraded state, with that vibrant rainbow foil stretching across the entire card, making it pop under any light without needing a slab to shine. The artwork captures Flygon mid-roar, wings flared against a cosmic backdrop, all swirling sands and starry vibes that tie right into the set’s eclipse theme—simple but striking, especially how the holo pattern dances like a desert mirage.
On the text side, it’s a Dragon-type Stage 2 with 240 HP, evolving from Vibrava. Its Ability, Sandy Cloak, shuts down effects from your opponent’s Pokémon attacks if they have an Ability themselves, giving you some solid defense. Attacks include Desert Hurricane for 120 damage, which can ramp up by discarding Stadium cards, and the GX move Sonic Edge for a hefty 200 that ignores all effects on the Defending Pokémon. Weak to Fairy, resists nothing, and retreats for three—classic hefty dragon setup that demands energy commitment but pays off in big swings.
Cosmic Eclipse dropped in late 2019, wrapping up the Sun & Moon era with a bang, mixing tag teams and cosmic flair. Raw copies often show up with decent stock quality, but watch for those common centering quirks—sometimes the borders lean a tad off, especially on the full arts where the rainbow edges can highlight any misalignment. Printing was solid overall, though some pulls had minor whitening on the backs from pack friction.
When hunting clean raws, zero in on sharp corners that haven’t seen a binder’s wrath; these can dull quick if mishandled. Edges usually hold up well, but check for any silvering along the rainbow borders—it’s subtle but there on rougher examples. Surface-wise, the full art holo is prone to light scratches if not sleeved pronto, but a minty one keeps that glossy flash intact, with no hazing or print lines marring the sands. Centering’s key here; aim for 50/50 or better to avoid that lopsided feel, and the back’s clean with no dents.
Dust off your deck or display it raw—that fresh rainbow swirl might just inspire a Flygon build.
