The Rayquaza EX card, numbered BW47, is a legendary Rare Holo EX promo from the Black & White series of the Pokémon TCG. As a Basic Dragon-type Pokémon with a massive 170 Hit Points, it features a Weakness to Dragon, no Resistance, and a Retreat Cost of 1. This Raw (non-graded) version is highly prized by collectors for its striking artwork by Eske Yoshinob and its status as a powerful Black Star Promo distributed during the 2012 promotional cycle, making it a centerpiece for Dragon-type and EX decks.

The card’s gameplay revolves around two dynamic attacks: Celestial Roar and Dragon Burst. Celestial Roar requires no Energy and allows the player to discard the top three cards of their deck, attaching any discarded Energy cards directly to Rayquaza EX, providing rapid acceleration. Its primary offensive move, Dragon Burst, costs one Fire and one Lightning Energy; it deals 60 damage multiplied by the number of basic Fire or Lightning Energy discarded from Rayquaza EX during the attack, enabling massive damage spikes of over 200 damage in a single turn if fueled correctly.

Collectors and competitive players value BW47 for its high-risk, high-reward mechanics and iconic status in the Expanded format. Whether used to fuel a massive Dragon Burst knockout or as a nostalgic trophy from the Black & White era, Rayquaza EX remains a formidable and visually stunning asset for any trainer aiming to master high-damage strategies in the Pokémon TCG.
