Palkia-EX

Description

With 180 HP, Palkia-EX stands as one of the more resilient Basic Pokémon in the expansion, offering collectors a substantial presence in the series. The card’s artwork, created by 5ban Graphics, presents the legendary entity in a striking visual that defines the era's aesthetic for high-rarity releases. Beyond its visual appeal, Palkia-EX offers distinct gameplay mechanics that appeal to strategic players and collectors alike. The Colorless Strafe attack allows players to switch this Pokémon with one from the bench, providing tactical flexibility during matches. Meanwhile, the Dimension Heal attack deals 80 damage but scales significantly when Plasma Energy is attached, healing 20 damage for each energy card on Palkia-EX. This synergy with the set’s theme makes it a notable inclusion for those interested in the strategic depth of the Plasma Block era. For collectors, the Ultra Rare treatment and Holo finish of the 100th card in the Plasma Blast series make it a sought-after item. The combination of legendary status, robust stats, and thematic relevance ensures that Palkia-EX remains a centerpiece for those completing the set or building themed collections. Its enduring presence in the Pokémon TCG landscape continues to drive interest among hobbyists who appreciate both the lore of the legendary Pokémon and the mechanical innovation of the 2013 era.
