Collector’s Notes
This Golem ex is a Double Rare from the Japanese set Pokémon Card 151 (sv2a), a modern release dedicated to reimagining the original generation of Pokémon. The “ex” mechanic is a central feature of the Scarlet & Violet TCG era, bestowing huge HP and powerful attacks upon classic Pokémon.
The artwork by N-DESIGN Inc. is explosive and action-packed. Golem is depicted mid-roll, bursting with golden energy and shattering the very ground beneath it. The low-angle perspective makes the Pokémon feel immense and unstoppable. The textured, full-card holographic treatment makes the entire scene shimmer, highlighting the immense energy being unleashed.
As a cornerstone of the Geological Pokémon category, Golem is a perfect fit. It’s important to note that while Golem is canonically a Rock/Ground Pokémon in the video games, the Trading Card Game consolidates Rock, Ground, and Fighting types into a single Fighting type, represented by the fist symbol on the card. This modern interpretation honours Golem’s legacy while showcasing the impressive art and gameplay mechanics of the current TCG era.
