Ethan's Ho-Oh EX 039/182

This is Ethan's Ho-Oh EX, card 039 of 182 from Destined Rivals, an English language release. The card is a Double Rare, the rarity tier used for ex cards in the Scarlet and Violet era, marked by the black double star symbol and a full foil treatment.

Ex cards represent some of the strongest Pokemon in play, offering high power in exchange for giving up extra prize cards when knocked out. This one is part of the Trainer's Pokemon theme that runs through Destined Rivals, tying a famous character, Ethan, to the well known legendary Ho-Oh.

Character linked ex cards have become a popular collecting angle because they connect the trading card game back to faces from the wider Pokemon series. Ethan's Ho-Oh EX is a strong pick for collectors who follow the Destined Rivals set or enjoy building a run of Trainer's Pokemon cards.
