Reshiram ex #166

The Reshiram ex from the White Flare set stands out as a highly desirable Special Illustration Rare, a distinction confirmed by its secret card number, 166/86. Special Illustration Rares are exceptionally rare pulls, characterized by unique full-art illustrations that extend across the entire card surface, making them significant chase cards for collectors. As a Pokémon ex, Reshiram ex also carries the rule that an opponent takes two Prize cards when it is Knocked Out, adding a strategic layer to its presence on the battlefield and contributing to its inherent collectibility within the Scarlet & Violet series.

Illustrated by kawayoo, this particular Reshiram ex artwork captures the 'Vast White Pokémon' in a dynamic pose, emphasizing its legendary presence and fiery power. Beyond its visual appeal, Reshiram ex possesses the potent 'Blazing Burst' attack, which gains 50 additional damage for each Prize card your opponent has already taken, offering a powerful late-game option, albeit at the cost of discarding an Energy. This unique attack synergizes with its status as a Basic Pokémon ex with 230 HP. The card further evokes Reshiram's essence, as described in its Pokédex entry: 'This Pokémon appears in legends. It sends flames into the air from its tail, burning up everything around it.'
