Volcarona GX 252/236

Volcarona GX 252/236 is a rainbow rare from Cosmic Eclipse, the English expansion that closed out the Sun and Moon era. The card number of 252 exceeds the set size of 236 shown on the card, so this printing sits beyond the standard run as a secret rare.

GX cards are the Sun and Moon era format of powerful Pokemon that give up extra prizes when knocked out and carry a special GX attack usable once per game. The rainbow finish is the premium secret rare treatment for GX cards, applying a multicoloured pastel surface across the whole card that collectors favour for display.

Volcarona's striking design lends itself well to the rainbow treatment, and as a secret rare it appears far less often than the regular cards in Cosmic Eclipse. That scarcity keeps it on want lists for collectors completing the set's rainbow GX cards.
