Gem Mint BGS 9.5 EX Deoxys Rayquaza EX Holo CLEAN
Gem Mint BGS 9.5 EX Deoxys Rayquaza EX Holo CLEAN
Price: $2,499.00
Rayquaza EX from EX Deoxys, holo rarity, slabbed at BGS 9.5. This one’s got that classic dragon vibe, with Rayquaza coiled up against a starry backdrop, looking ready to unleash some chaos. The pose captures it mid-roar, all fierce and elongated, like it’s about to dive-bomb whatever’s in its path.
On the card text side, it’s a colorless type with 100 HP. Ability? None here—it’s straight EX power. Attacks include Dragon Bind for 20 damage that flips to paralyze if the Defending Pokémon is an Evolution, and Spiral Rush for 30 plus 20 more per heads on a coin flip, up to some solid hits. Simple but effective for those early EX era decks, where you’d pair it with energy acceleration to ramp up fast.
EX Deoxys dropped in 2005, part of the third EX series after Ruby & Sapphire and Sandstorm. What makes this printing stand out? It’s tied to the Deoxys theme, with space motifs and meteorite energy, pulling from the Hoenn legendaries. Rayquaza was a big deal back then, fresh off its movie appearance, and this EX version fit right into competitive play without overshadowing the basics. Not the rarest pull, but holo EX cards like this carried weight in binders.
For the slab, BGS 9.5 means it’s near-mint territory—subgrades likely strong across the board, with centering that’s on point and edges that hold up under scrutiny. Eye appeal? That holo shine pops under light, no major whitening or scratches visible, giving it a clean, display-ready look. Pop reports put BGS 9.5s for this card in the low hundreds last I checked, though exact numbers fluctuate with submissions.
I’d stash this one in a case on the shelf, maybe next to some other Hoenn heavies for that nostalgic lineup.
