Raging Bolt ex #166

Raging Bolt ex (166/131) from the Prismatic Evolutions expansion is a particularly noteworthy Special Illustration Rare card, elevated by its status as a secret rare. This rarity tier is highly prized by collectors for its distinctive, often full-card artwork that showcases the Pokémon in a unique setting or dynamic pose, making it visually appealing. Its card number, extending beyond the set's primary count, signifies its exceptional scarcity and lower pull rate, making it a significant find for collectors and contributing to its desirability.

As an Ancient Dragon-type Pokémon ex with 240 HP, Raging Bolt ex brings distinctive mechanics to the game. Its first attack, Burst Roar, offers a powerful hand refresh, allowing players to discard their current hand and draw six new cards, which can be crucial for strategic setup or recovery. The second attack, Bellowing Thunder, provides scalable damage, enabling the player to discard any amount of Basic Energy from their Pokémon to deal 70 damage for each card discarded. As a Pokémon ex, it follows the special rule where an opponent takes two Prize cards when it is Knocked Out, adding a strategic layer to its presence on the field.
