This special illustration single card can only be pulled from official Japanese Scarlet ex booster packs. It is listed as an Art Rare checklist number 089 out of 078, meaning it occupies the premium secret card print slot at the very back of the pack layout.
The Leadership ability provides an active offensive buff to your board state by adding 30 additional damage to any attacks used by your Basic Pokémon against your opponent’s Active slot. This makes Kingambit an incredible bench-sitter strategy to scale up the damage output of aggressive low-stage attackers.
Unlike standard regular prints, this version features a unique full-bleed alternate artwork canvas painted by the acclaimed animator KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA. Collectors heavily target this specific Japanese card stock variant due to its superior surface texture, clean gloss printing quality, and low pull-rate difficulty.
Yes, the professional authentication process seals the card completely inside a heavy-duty, sonic-welded plastic shell. This hard case keeps the pristine textured artwork and fragile holofoil borders permanently shielded from handling wear, edge chipping, air moisture, and surface scratch damage.
