Salamence EX 187/159

This is Salamence EX from Journey Together, card number 187/159. Because 187 sits above the set's printed total of 159, this is a secret rare found beyond the main numbered list.

Its rarity is a Special Illustration Rare, a finish given to only a handful of cards in each set. The artwork extends across the full card and places Salamence in a detailed illustrated scene rather than a plain bordered frame. As an EX card, Salamence is a single powerful Pokemon with higher HP and stronger attacks in play, and the EX mechanic remains a favourite for both gameplay and display.

Salamence is a popular pseudo legendary with a strong following, and a Special Illustration Rare secret rare from Journey Together gives collectors the most desirable version of the card. It works well as a standalone display piece and as a target for anyone chasing the top tier pulls from the set.
