From the 2003 Pokémon TCG EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion, this Hitmonchan ex (98/109) is an ultra-rare Fighting-type basic trading card. Its holofoil illustration by Hiromichi Sugiyama captures Hitmonchan mid-punch amid warm reds and golds against a star-speckled, galaxy-like background, highlighted by the classic sparkly holo pattern of the set. As one of the early “Pokémon-ex” cards, it carries the special rule that if Hitmonchan ex is Knocked Out your opponent takes two Prize cards, a distinctive mechanic of the era. Collectors and players appreciate this vintage holo card for its dynamic artwork and nostalgic appeal as part of the first Generation III Pokémon TCG set.
