Hitmonchan Ex 124226 Appraisal

Hitmonchan ex (124/226)

This item is a collectible Pokémon trading card featuring the Pokémon 'Hitmonchan ex'. The card has a holographic or 'foil' finish, primarily gold and silver in color with vibrant blue and pink accents in the background art, creating a dynamic visual effect behind the Pokémon. Hitmonchan, a fighting-type Pokémon, is depicted in an active pose, throwing a punch that emits a bright red energy burst. The character itself is depicted in its characteristic tan body with purple shorts and red boxing gloves. The card identifies Hitmonchan as a 'Basic' Pokémon with 130 HP (Hit Points). It features an attack named 'Quick Straight' with a damage value of 50, and a special rule stating 'This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness.' The card also indicates a weakness to Psychic-type Pokémon with a '+20' damage modifier. Other sections for resistance, retreat cost, and an 'ex rule' are visible, detailing that when an opponent's Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 prize cards. The card's set information is partially visible, indicating 'MEGA RISING' and the card number '124/226', along with a rarity symbol 'B1'. The card appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, tears, or significant surface wear. The print quality is high, with crisp text and vibrant colors, indicative of an officially licensed product. The overall aesthetic suggests it belongs to a modern era of Pokémon card releases, likely from the Mid-2010s given the 'ex' mechanic and set name 'Mega Rising'.
