Tauros Ex Pokemon Trading Card Appraisal

Tauros ex Pokémon Trading Card

This item is a 'Tauros ex' Pokémon trading card, specifically card number 183/226, from what appears to be the 'Mega Rising' set, as indicated by text at the bottom of the display. The card features Tauros in an 'ex' form, signifying a powerful variant with 140 HP (Hit Points). The artwork depicts a brown, bull-like Pokémon with large, curved gray horns, against a vibrant, light-colored background with radiating golden energy effects. The card's border is a reflective, rainbow-like holographic pattern, suggesting a 'full art' or 'secret rare' rarity. Below the Pokémon's image, the card details its 'Wild Tackle' attack, which deals 90 damage but also does 30 damage to itself if a coin flip results in tails. It shows a weakness of +20 to a fighting-type Pokémon (represented by a brown fist symbol) and indicates no resistance or retreat cost. The illustrator's credit '©.PLAIETA CO Works' is visible, along with the 'ex rule' clearly stating that when a Pokémon-EX is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 prize cards. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical for modern Pokémon cards, with crisp printing and clear holographic effects. The visible image is of a digital representation of the card, likely from an app or website, as evidenced by the UI elements like 'Wishlist' and time indicator '12:19'. Therefore, the physical condition of an actual card cannot be assessed from this image, though the digital rendering itself is clean and undamaged. The card's design and features suggest it is a contemporary Pokémon TCG card, likely from the mid-2010s or more recent, aligning with the introduction and prevalence of 'ex' Pokémon.
