<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow could we possibly begin with anything other than the most obvious pick of all? At this point, Charizard cards\u2014even arguably ordinary ones\u2014almost have a mythic quality about them. Not only that\u2014this isn\u2019t even close to an \u201cordinary\u201d Charizard card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This iconic card features Mega Charizard X, the Mega Evolution of the Gen 1 Fire-type starter exclusive to Pok\u00e9mon X. Perhaps its single biggest selling point over its counterpart from Pok\u00e9mon Y lies in its Dragon typing. For years, Pok\u00e9mon fans (TCG and otherwise) have clamored for Charizard\u2019s type to be changed to Fire\/Dragon. While their wishes weren\u2019t exactly granted, that\u2019s exactly the type combination that Charizard became upon receiving its Mega Evolution in X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, the striking, dynamic artwork, the name of Mega Charizard ex\u2019s Wild Blaze attack (from which the set\u2019s name is derived) emblazoned across the image in Japanese, and the fact that it\u2019s all three of a Mega Evolution, Pok\u00e9mon-ex, and an Ultra Rare card make this arguably the single biggest possible pull of the Pok\u00e9mon TCG\u2019s sixth generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen it was introduced to the video games, Mega Rayquaza was so obscenely powerful that it was blacklisted from the Uber tier\u2014an astounding achievement given the fact that the Uber tier was designed to include the most powerful \u2018mons so that nothing could be banned from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mega Rayquaza\u2019s TCG counterpart lives up to its video game version\u2019s (literal and figurative) lofty status. The card features a visually stunning illustration depicting Mega Rayquaza ex\u2019s body surrounded by a rash of colors as it unleashes an attack. Like other Mega Evolutions, the name of its attack\u2014Emerald Break\u2014runs across the card image in Japanese letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To further cement this card\u2019s iconic status, it\u2019s the Shiny version of Mega Rayquaza ex which the card depicts. Not only is it Shiny\u2014the fact that it\u2019s a Shiny Rayquaza is significant too as countless Pok\u00e9mon fans over the years have claimed that Shiny Rayquaza looks infinitely better than its ordinary version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLargely thanks to multiple appearances in the Super Smash Bros. video game series, Lucario was already among the most popular Pok\u00e9mon even before it received a Mega Evolution in Gen 6. Once its Mega Evolution made its way to the TCG, there was little doubt that it would become a standout card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The card\u2019s full-art illustration by 5ban Graphics depicts the Aura Pok\u00e9mon unleashing its Rising Fist attack\u2014from which the set\u2019s name is taken\u2014at maximum force. Jagged lines surrounding Mega Lucario ex emphasize the sheer impact of the attack, while as with the other Mega Evolution cards, the attack\u2019s name in Japanese letters is displayed across the card\u2019s main image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although there are two UR cards in Rising Fist [XY3], the other\u2014Mega Heracross ex\u2014doesn\u2019t have nearly the same clout that Lucario and its Mega Evolution do among both Pok\u00e9mon fans and the general public, leading to this card\u2019s elevated value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAsk any Pok\u00e9mon fan to name a Shiny Pok\u00e9mon\u2014chances are that they\u2019ll say \u201cRed Gyarados\u201d. The iconic encounter with the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage in the video games left an indelible mark on the history of Pok\u00e9mon. With that in mind, this card was always likely to be among the generation\u2019s most memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Gyarados is likely something along the lines of \u201cfury\u201d\u2014a concept encapsulated by Eske Yoshinob\u2019s illustration. Gyarados ex is positioned to look as though it\u2019s bursting out of the card frame, doing so with such rage that its eyes have turned pure white as it leaves a mighty wave in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The card\u2019s holofoil also provides a gleaming spectrum-like effect that adds further visual impact. This card is wholly carried by its visuals\u2014while there is a Full Art version, this is a rare example of the ordinary card outclassing its Full Art counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Full Art version does look impressive in its own right, but it lacks the sheer ferocity that this card emanates and has defined Red Gyarados ever since its unforgettable introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ll finish things off with the Mewtwo ex card from the Red Flash [XY8] expansion set. Slightly more expensive than its counterpart from the simultaneously-released Blue Shock [XY8] set, this Secret iteration of Mewtwo ex features its titular Pok\u00e9mon standing resolutely in front of three other Pok\u00e9mon\u2014Magnezone, Chesnaught, and Cresselia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The card\u2019s artwork isn\u2019t the only thing that conveys the notion of the Psychic-type Legendary Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s overwhelming power. Behind Mewtwo ex and the three Pok\u00e9mon in front of which it stands are red and yellow vertical lines with a gradient pattern\u2014placed for dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s interesting about this card is that it\u2019s both rarer and vastly more expensive than Mega Mewtwo ex, its Mega Evolution. As this was the eighth expansion set of the Pok\u00e9mon TCG\u2019s sixth generation, this might have implied that the novelty of Mega Evolution may have begun to wear off at the point of the set\u2019s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re certain that once Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A drops, it won\u2019t be long before the Pok\u00e9mon TCG returns to Kalos and brings us even more uber-rare cards.

The card\u2019s holofoil also provides a gleaming spectrum-like effect that adds further visual impact. This card is wholly carried by its visuals\u2014while there is a Full Art version, this is a rare example of the ordinary card outclassing its Full Art counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Full Art version does look impressive in its own right, but it lacks the sheer ferocity that this card emanates and has defined Red Gyarados ever since its unforgettable introduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nMewtwo ex (Red Flash [XY8] 065\/059) (PSA 10 Price: US$518)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019ll finish things off with the Mewtwo ex card from the Red Flash [XY8] expansion set. Slightly more expensive than its counterpart from the simultaneously-released Blue Shock [XY8] set, this Secret iteration of Mewtwo ex features its titular Pok\u00e9mon standing resolutely in front of three other Pok\u00e9mon\u2014Magnezone, Chesnaught, and Cresselia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The card\u2019s artwork isn\u2019t the only thing that conveys the notion of the Psychic-type Legendary Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s overwhelming power. Behind Mewtwo ex and the three Pok\u00e9mon in front of which it stands are red and yellow vertical lines with a gradient pattern\u2014placed for dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s interesting about this card is that it\u2019s both rarer and vastly more expensive than Mega Mewtwo ex, its Mega Evolution. As this was the eighth expansion set of the Pok\u00e9mon TCG\u2019s sixth generation, this might have implied that the novelty of Mega Evolution may have begun to wear off at the point of the set\u2019s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThat concludes our list of five of the rarest Gen 6 Pok\u00e9mon cards. We\u2019re certain that once Pok\u00e9mon Legends Z-A drops, it won\u2019t be long before the Pok\u00e9mon TCG returns to Kalos and brings us even more uber-rare cards. Once that happens, you can be sure we\u2019ll be the first to break it to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAsk any Pok\u00e9mon fan to name a Shiny Pok\u00e9mon\u2014chances are that they\u2019ll say \u201cRed Gyarados\u201d. The iconic encounter with the Red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage in the video games left an indelible mark on the history of Pok\u00e9mon. With that in mind, this card was always likely to be among the generation\u2019s most memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Gyarados is likely something along the lines of \u201cfury\u201d\u2014a concept encapsulated by Eske Yoshinob\u2019s illustration. Gyarados ex is positioned to look as though it\u2019s bursting out of the card frame, doing so with such rage that its eyes have turned pure white as it leaves a mighty wave in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
