Pokémon Cynthia’s Garchomp EX Full Art Foil Card 232/182 330 HP Dragon Stage 2

Price: $200.00

This Cynthia’s Garchomp EX Full Art Foil, from the Paradox Rift set, clocks in as an ultra rare with number 232/182, sitting in raw ungraded condition. It’s a hefty Stage 2 Dragon type with 330 HP, evolving from Gabite, and the full art spread really lets that fierce Garchomp design take over the whole card. The foil treatment spreads across the background, giving it a shiny depth that shifts under different angles, like the dragon’s scales are ready to burst out.

On the text side, it’s got Sonic Gale as an attack for 120 damage that discards an Energy from this Pokémon, and then the big hitter Hydro Lander for 200 damage if you attach up to 3 Basic Water Energy from your discard pile to your Pokémon. No Ability listed, but that HP makes it a tank in Dragon decks, resisting some weaknesses while pressuring opponents with those energy maneuvers. Keep in mind, it’s weak to Fairy types, which can sneak in for double damage.

Paradox Rift dropped back in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era, pulling in those future and ancient paradox themes with a mix of ex mechanics. Raw copies from this set often show up with minor centering quirks—maybe the borders lean a tad left or right, especially on these full arts where the image bleeds to the edges. Printing quality held steady, but some pulls had that slight curl from the foil layer, common in high-shine cards like this.

Diving into raw details, the corners on these usually hold sharp if handled right, though expect a whisper of whitening on edges from shuffling or storage. Surface stays clean without much scratching, as the foil protects the print, but watch for tiny print lines that show up under bright light. The holo flash pops strong, with that rainbow sheen rolling across Garchomp’s form when you tilt it just so. Overall, it’s solid for a raw piece, no major dents or creases assuming it’s been kept sleeved.

Flip it over during a casual game night and watch opponents pause—that foil glare hits different.
