Zapdos EX 049

This is Zapdos EX, a promo card carrying the number 049. As a promo it falls outside the numbered main sets, so it reached collectors through special releases such as boxes and tins rather than standard booster packs. That distribution path is part of why dedicated collectors keep an eye out for promo EX cards when filling gaps in their collections.

EX cards are powerful basics known for their high HP and striking artwork, a hallmark of the era that introduced them. Zapdos is one of the original Legendary birds from the Kanto region and remains a recognisable favourite, so its EX cards carry a strong nostalgia factor alongside their display appeal.

This copy is offered as a mint raw single, well suited to a themed Legendary birds collection or a binder of promo EX cards.
