Gouging Fire EX 038/162

This is Gouging Fire ex (038/162) from Temporal Forces, the 2024 Scarlet and Violet set themed around the clash of ancient and future Pokemon. Gouging Fire is one of the ancient paradox Pokemon, a prehistoric take on a familiar creature introduced through the Paldea region storyline.

The card is tagged Double Rare, the rarity used for Pokemon ex cards in the Scarlet and Violet era. The ex suffix marks a Basic Pokemon with a large health pool and high impact attacks, balanced by the rule that your opponent takes two prize cards when it is knocked out. As a Double Rare it carries a holographic finish across the card.

Collectors look for Gouging Fire ex for its role in the well regarded paradox lineup and to round out a Temporal Forces set build. Its number sits within the main set, so it is a standard Double Rare rather than a secret rare.
