Frequently Asked Questions
What booster packs contain the Japanese Great Tusk ex Double Rare card?
This basic Paradox Pokémon ex single card can only be pulled from official Japanese Scarlet ex booster packs. It is listed as a Double Rare checklist number 049 out of 078, meaning it occupies a primary holo-foil insert slot within the standard set distribution.
How does Great Tusk ex Bedrock Breaker attack function in competitive matches?
The Bedrock Breaker move deals a heavy 150 base damage for two Fighting energy attachments while introducing an active disruption effect. It immediately discards any Stadium card currently active on the field, allowing players to strip away their opponent’s arena advantages on impact.
Why is the SV1S Scarlet ex version of Great Tusk ex highly collected?
This card marks the historic debut print of the Paradox fan-favourite Ancient Pokémon line. Collectors target this clean Japanese card stock print variant due to its rich ink saturation, superior card stock density, sharp gloss printing quality, and its clean interaction within master set completion logs.
Does the PSA protective slab preserve the holographic surface of this card?
Yes, the professional authentication process seals the card completely inside a heavy-duty, sonic-welded plastic shell. This hard case keeps the pristine mirror-finish artwork and fragile borders permanently shielded from handling wear, edge chipping, air moisture, and surface scratch damage.
