Mega Emboar ex - 273/217 - ME: Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Mega Emboar ex — 273/217 Special Illustration Rare from Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution — Ascended Heroes is exactly the kind of card that defines a landmark set. Ascended Heroes houses 217 standard set cards and 78 Secret Rares, making it the biggest set ever printed in the English Pokémon TCG — and this card lives beyond that ceiling at number 273, a Secret Rare pulled from a pool that serious collectors are hunting hard.

Numbered 273/217, this Special Illustration Rare features artwork by nagimiso — a full-art, painterly composition that separates it entirely from the Double Rare version of the same Pokémon. As a Stage 2 Fire-type with 380 HP, its attack Crimson Blast hits for a massive 320 damage.
