Hop's Zacian EX 123/193 (JP)

This is Hop's Zacian ex, card number 123/193, a Double Rare from the Japanese Mega Dream EX set. This is one of the Trainer's Pokemon cards, where a familiar character's name is attached to the Pokemon. The ex designation marks a powerful card with higher HP and stronger attacks, balanced by giving up extra prize cards when knocked out, and Double Rare is its rarity tier, shown by the two black star symbols.

Zacian is one of the legendary Pokemon from the Galar region, and pairing it with Hop, a recognisable rival character, gives this card extra appeal for fans of that storyline. Mega Dream EX is a Japanese set, so this card carries the Japanese text layout that collectors of Japanese cards seek out.

Collectors look for Trainer's Pokemon ex cards like this one for the character tie in and as Double Rare highlights of the set. Clean, well centred copies are the ones set builders and players prefer, since the ex cards tend to be among the more sought after pulls.
