In the video games, the Hex Maniac\u2014like most other non-player character (NPC) Trainers\u2014is understandably easily overlooked. However, in the Pok\u00e9mon TCG, the Hex Maniac card from The Best of XY [XY] ended up becoming one of the biggest hits of Gen 6’s “greatest hits” set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Hex Maniac (The Best of XY [XY] 181\/171)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally released as part of Bandit Ring [XY7], this Hex Maniac card was brought back for The Best of XY [XY], the set intended to encapsulate the Pok\u00e9mon TCG’s sixth generation as it transitioned into Gen 7. The card featured a Full Art illustration of the Ghost-type specialist with an utterly unhinged look on her face befitting the eerie nature of her Pok\u00e9mon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Full Art cards which depict a female character accumulate significant value, as has this one; however, Hex Maniac isn’t a character which fits any of the archetypes which most of the Pok\u00e9mon fandom gravitates towards. Despite this, the card has indeed amassed much demand and like many other major hits from Gen 6, will continue to do so as the upcoming release of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A, the sequel to Gen 6 video games Pok\u00e9mon X and Y, approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
