Rayquaza-EX

Description

Rayquaza-EX, designated as card number 85 in the 2012 Dragons Exalted expansion, stands as a formidable presence in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Basic Dragon-type Pokémon boasting 170 HP, this card is designed for players who appreciate high-impact gameplay and strategic depth. The release features the distinctive Holo finish typical of Rare Holo EX cards, making it a visually striking addition to any collection. The card’s attack mechanics offer versatile tactical options for trainers. The Colorless Celestial Roar allows players to discard the top three cards of their deck, attaching any Energy cards found to Rayquaza-EX. This ability provides crucial resource acceleration, ensuring the Pokémon is powered up quickly. For offensive plays, FireLightning Dragon Burst delivers damage based on discarded Energy types. By discarding all basic Fire or Lightning Energy attached to the Pokémon, this attack inflicts 60 damage for each card discarded, maximizing potential output in a single turn. Illustrated by Eske Yoshinob, the card captures the essence of the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon within the set's artistic framework. With a modest retreat cost of one Colorless Energy, Rayquaza-EX remains agile on the battlefield, able to reposition or switch out when necessary. The card’s Pokédex number, 384, identifies it within the broader Pokémon universe, adding to its appeal for lore enthusiasts and completionists alike. For collectors, the Dragons Exalted set represents a significant era in Pokémon TCG history, and Rayquaza-EX is a centerpiece of that release. Its combination of high HP, unique attack dynamics, and the prestigious EX designation makes it a standout item for those building specialized collections. Whether you are focused on completing the Dragons Exalted set or seeking powerful cards for your deck, Rayquaza-EX offers both aesthetic and functional value.
