Pecharunt ex #163

Pecharunt ex (163/131) from the Prismatic Evolutions set is a notable Special Illustration Rare secret card. Its value is significantly driven by its status as a Special Illustration Rare, which features unique, full-card artwork, and its position as a secret rare beyond the standard set numbering (163 out of 131). This combination implies a lower pull rate from booster packs, making it a desirable acquisition for collectors. Released as part of the Scarlet & Violet series on January 17, 2025, this card stands out among its set.

As a Basic Darkness type Pokémon ex with 190 HP, Pecharunt ex offers strategic gameplay with its distinctive Ability, "Subjugating Chains." Once per turn, this allows players to switch one of their Benched Darkness Pokémon with their Active Pokémon, though the newly Active Pokémon becomes Poisoned. This provides tactical flexibility for board control or setting up specific attackers. Its "Irritated Outburst" attack gains power as the opponent takes Prize cards, dealing 60 damage for each, potentially making it a formidable late-game threat. The card’s mechanics align with its "Subjugation Pokémon" classification and Pokédex entry, which describes its ability to control others by chaining them to its will through toxic mochi, reflecting the manipulative nature of its Ability.
