Empoleon EX 099/080 (JP)

This is Empoleon EX 099/080, a Japanese language card from the Inferno X set. As an EX card, it is a powerful, high impact Pokemon designed to anchor a deck, with the trade off that an opponent takes extra prize cards when it is knocked out. The EX tag in the listing confirms this card type.

The card carries the Super Rare tag, and its number reinforces its standing. With 099 sitting above the set total of 080, this Empoleon is numbered beyond the main set, which marks it as a special rarity placed after the standard list. Cards numbered past the set total are pulled less often and are among the cards collectors actively chase from a release.

Empoleon has a loyal following, and a Super Rare EX version from Inferno X combines a popular Pokemon with one of the more sought after rarity tiers in the set. It is a strong pickup for collectors focused on Japanese cards or on completing the higher rarities from this expansion.
