# Roaring Moon ex from Prismatic Evolutions Roaring Moon ex represents the modern Pokemon TCG's embrace of special illustration rares, a category that appeals to collectors prioritizing artwork over competitive playability. This particular card draws interest because Roaring Moon itself carries competitive relevance, making the special illustration variant desirable across both gameplay and collecting communities. The holofoil treatment on special illustration rares creates visual depth that standard holos lack, though this also makes grading and condition assessment more subjective. Collectors typically view this as a middle-ground chase card—more accessible than secret rares but still requiring patience to locate in good condition. Its appeal hinges largely on personal preference for the illustration itself rather than inherent scarcity.
