Pokémon: Rayquaza Series: Promo Set: XY Card Number: XY73 Rarity: Promo Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2015 Illustrator: Planetta Rayquaza EX (XY73) from the Pokémon XY Black Star Promos is a powerful and visually striking Dragon-type Basic Pokémon-EX card that stands out in any collection or competitive deck. With a massive 180 HP, Rayquaza EX is built to endure battles and dominate the field. Its dual attacks—Dragon Claw for a solid 30 damage and the high-impact Dragon Strike dealing 130 damage—make it a formidable force. However, Dragon Strike comes with a risk: flip a coin, and if it lands on tails, Rayquaza EX cannot use this attack on your next turn, adding a layer of strategic decision-making to each play. As a Pokémon-EX, Rayquaza carries the rule that when it is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards instead of 1, raising the stakes of keeping it on the battlefield. It has a Weakness to Fairy types and no Resistance, with a Retreat Cost of two Colorless Energy, making energy management crucial. The card’s design features dynamic artwork by PLANETA, showcasing Rayquaza in mid-flight with a vibrant holofoil finish that catches the light and emphasizes its legendary status. Its Promo rarity and inclusion in special sets like the Rayquaza-EX Box make it a sought-after piece for collectors. Originally distributed as part of promotional campaigns, including the CoroCoro comic in Japan and the Rayquaza-EX Box release in English-speaking regions, this card has become a fan favorite. Whether you're building a high-powered Dragon-type deck or adding a premium piece to your Pokémon TCG collection, Rayquaza EX (XY73) delivers both nostalgic value and gameplay potential. Its blend of power, risk, and iconic design ensures it remains a standout card in the XY Promos series.
