Ho-Oh GX SM57

Ho-Oh GX is a Promo card from the Sun and Moon era, carrying the SM57 black star promo number. Promo cards are released outside the main expansions, usually through tins, boxes and special collections, which gives them their own numbering and a black star marker. They form a category that collectors enjoy chasing alongside the regular sets.

Pokemon GX cards were the headline mechanic of the Sun and Moon era. They offer high health and strong attacks, including a powerful GX attack you can use only once per game, with the trade off that they give up extra prize cards when knocked out. Ho-Oh is a classic Legendary from the Johto region, and seeing it in a GX promo printing appeals to long time fans of the character.

Collectors look for clean GX promos because the foil surface can show handling readily and promo prints are often harder to track down than set cards. A tidy raw copy makes a solid addition to a Sun and Moon promo collection or a Ho-Oh focused binder.
