Pokemon TCG Heat Wave Arena Cards Leak
A new Pokemon TCG leak is shared, revealing cards with impressive artwork that players will find in one of the upcoming releases.
Redditor SpaceMonkeyCesar pulled a shining Charizard ex card while opening packages with friends. In the video, they can’t believe they’ve pulled one of the rarest cards from the Paldean Fates expansion, which depicts a shiny tera Charizard in an imposing position with its wings spread and flames in its mouth. This card is a rare special illustration created by artist Akira Egawa and one of seven other artworks that are available in the set for players to collect. As well as this, one of the highlights is the hyper-rare print created by 5ban Graphics, in which Charizard appears roaring against a golden background.
A Pokemon TCG Fan Pulls a Rare and Valuable Charizard Card
The other Redditors praised the OP’s pull, as this Charizard ex is one of the most expensive cards in the Paldean Fates set. Released in 2024, this is the second special expansion of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet era and brought 360 new cards for players to collect. The shiny Charizard ex card, in particular, is one of the most expensive in Paldean Fates, with prices reaching $220.28 between February 4-6, according to TCG Player, and $200.97 between March 9-11.
While this is a highly desirable Charizard card due to its high rarity and imposing design, it’s not the only Charizard card that costs a small fortune. The Japanese Mysterious Mountains variant costs a whopping $2,224 ungraded and can reach $14,000 with PSA 10. Charizard Prerelease Staff #11 is another impressive card, as it can reach $1,474 ungraded and $4,997 with PSA 10. The catch, however, is that Pokemon TCG fans will have to shell out a lot of money to grade this card.
