Tyranitar ex · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Tyranitar ex card
Numbered 66 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Tyranitar ex is a Double Rare, a Stage 2 Lightning-type carrying 340 HP.
It evolves from Pupitar, so Tyranitar ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Tyranitar ex worth?
Tyranitar ex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Obsidian Flames's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Obsidian Flames holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Tyranitar ex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Tyranitar ex, surface is the grade cap. The lightning foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Tyranitar ex
When you go to buy Tyranitar ex, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Tyranitar ex, so price the specific copy in front of you.
