Absol EX 135/197

Absol EX (135/197) comes from Obsidian Flames, a Scarlet and Violet era set. Absol is a Pokemon first introduced in the Hoenn region, well recognised for its sleek, disaster sensing design, which has long made it a collector favourite. This printing carries the Double Rare rarity, the tier used for EX Pokemon in the Scarlet and Violet era.

The EX designation and the Double Rare label go hand in hand here. EX Pokemon feature larger HP totals and stronger attacks than ordinary basics, and the Double Rare rarity (shown by the two black star symbols on the card) marks them out as premium pulls within a set. Absol's striking look pairs well with that elevated treatment, which keeps it in demand among collectors.

Card number 135 sits within the set total of 197, so this is a standard set entry rather than a secret rare. It is a fitting choice for collectors completing their Obsidian Flames Double Rare cards or building an Absol line up.
