M Salamence EX XY171

This is M Salamence EX, card number XY171, an English Black Star Promo from the XY era. Mega Salamence is a fierce, high-flying Pokemon, and its Mega Evolution form makes for a commanding card that collectors of the XY generation enjoy tracking down.

The card is a Mega EX Promo. Mega EX cards depict a Pokemon in its Mega Evolved state, a temporary power-up that pushes stats well beyond the standard EX, while also giving up extra prize cards when knocked out. As a Black Star Promo, this card was distributed outside the main expansions, typically through special products or releases, which gives it a different appeal to set-numbered cards.

Collectors look for M Salamence EX as part of the XY promo lineup and as a feature piece for a Salamence or Mega Evolution collection. The dramatic artwork and promo status make it a worthwhile addition for fans of this era.
