Pikachu ex #247

Pikachu ex (247/191) from the Surging Sparks set stands out as a highly collectible Hyper Rare secret card. Its numbering, extending beyond the standard set count, signifies its distinct rarity and contributes to its lower pull rate. This card’s status as a Pokémon ex, combined with the visually striking Tera type, elevates its desirability, showcasing the iconic Electric-type mascot in a powerful and unique form within the Scarlet & Violet series.

This Pikachu ex features a substantial 200 HP and the unique Ability, Resolute Heart, which prevents a one-hit Knock Out when at full HP, instead leaving it with 10 HP. This defensive trait offers strategic depth, allowing Pikachu ex to potentially survive otherwise fatal attacks. Its attack, Topaz Bolt, requires discarding three Energy, indicating a strong but resource-intensive move. As a Tera Pokémon, it benefits from protection against damage while on the Bench. The species' Pokédex entry notes that "When several of these POKéMON gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms," a fitting description for this powerful Lightning-type Pokémon.
