On July 20, 2026, a single Pokémon Trading Card Game card took social media by storm. The card in question? The ultra-rare vintage “Suicune ex ☆”.

A viral post on X spotted the grail card casually tucked inside the clear smartphone case of Momo, a superstar member of the global K-pop sensation TWICE.

This particular card is a true vintage gem, originally released in Japan in the 2003 expansion Magma VS Aqua: Two Ambitions (known to US collectors as EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua). Finding this card in pristine condition today—let alone professionally graded—is incredibly difficult due to its limited circulation. Rumors are already swirling among fans that Momo might have copped this exact card in June through SNKRDUNK.

Die-hard fans might not be surprised by her choice, though. Momo has previously been seen rocking a Suicune sticker on her phone, proving the Legendary Water-type Pokémon is her ultimate favorite. Suicune has been featured on numerous cards over the years and remains a heavy hitter in the global TCG collector’s market.
