Released in 2004 as part of the Japanese Black Deck Kit, this Rocket’s Moltres ex card is a first-edition holo that embodies the Team Rocket theme. Illustrator Ryo Ueda’s dramatic art shows a lean, fiery Moltres surrounded by swirling, star-like holographic foil – the card’s full-body holo and silver-black border are hallmarks of mid-2000s Pokémon TCG aesthetics. The card carries the iconic Team Rocket “R” logo in the corner and features the Pokémon-ex mechanic (Grants two Prize cards if Knocked Out), making it a nostalgic piece for collectors. As a rare Japanese trading card (014/020, 1st Ed.), it’s especially valued by fans of classic sets and those seeking standout artwork from the era.
