The Special Illustration Rare version of Hop's Zacian ex — #186/159 from Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together (SV09) is one of the premier Trainer's Pokémon chase cards of 2025. This is the top-tier pull for Hop collectors — a full-art, holofoil SIR numbered out of the standard set, illustrated by artist DOM, featuring Hop and his legendary partner Zacian in Crowned Sword form, sword gleaming in its mouth, rendered in a dynamic composition true to his iconic look from Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Journey Together marked the return of Owner's Pokémon cards to the TCG — a mechanic absent since 2021 — pairing beloved Trainers directly with their Pokémon ex. Hop's story as Leon's younger brother, the rival who steps out of a Champion's shadow and ultimately becomes a Pokémon researcher, gives this card real narrative weight that resonates deeply with the Sword and Shield generation of players.

  • Rarity: Special Illustration Rare (SIR) — numbered #186/159, a beyond-the-set secret
  • Pull rate: Roughly one SIR per every 36 packs, with six SIRs competing in the set
  • Card stats: Metal-type Basic Pokémon ex, 230 HP — with Brave Slash swinging for 240 damage
  • Raw market value: Trading in the $37–$41 range; recent sales tracked between $31–$39
  • Graded comps: PSA 10 copies trade at 1.5–2x raw, in the $55–$74 range

Zacian is the Pokémon Sword box legendary with over 25 million copies of the game sold — this SIR taps into one of the largest modern Pokémon fanbases. The holofoil treatment makes Zacian's metallic sword shimmer on the tilt, and the full-art treatment gives collectors exactly what they want: Hop and his legendary, together, as they were always meant to be. A cornerstone piece for any Journey Together master set build or Galar-era collection.
