Alolan Exeggutor ex - 248/191 - SV08: Surging Sparks (SSP) Pokemon
Alolan Exeggutor ex — 248/191 — Hyper Rare (Secret) — Scarlet & Violet: Surging Sparks (SSP)
The towering Alolan Exeggutor ex gets the gold treatment here. Card 248/191 is the Hyper Rare — the gleaming, full-gold etched version of one of the most recognizable Pokémon ex's in Surging Sparks, and numbered well beyond the 191-card base set to signal its secret rare status. The Pokémon Company literally used Alolan Exeggutor ex as a face card for this release: "a parade of dragon Pokémon led by the towering Alolan Exeggutor ex" is how the official set description bills it, cementing this card's importance in the set's identity.
- Set: Scarlet & Violet — Surging Sparks (SV08), released November 8, 2024 — the largest standard set of the entire Scarlet & Violet era at 252 cards, with 61 secret rares and the deepest Illustration Rare lineup of any SV main set.
- Rarity: Hyper Rare (Secret) — the gold holo tier, one of four Alolan Exeggutor ex variants in the set, alongside the Double Rare, Full Art Ultra Rare, and Special Illustration Rare.
- Card stats: Stage 1 Tera Dragon-type ex with 300 HP; Tropical Frenzy swings for 150 with the ability to attach unlimited Basic Energy cards from hand in the same turn — a genuinely playable card, not just a collector piece.
- Market: Raw Near Mint copies have been trading in the $9–$20 range, with graded PSA 9 examples listed at a premium. An entry-level price point for a secret rare from one of 2024's biggest sets.
With Surging Sparks carrying the highest concentration of secret rares in any modern SV set, the Hyper Rares represent the cleanest, most visually striking pull tier in the entire release. The gold foil on Alolan Exeggutor's absurdly long tropical neck hits different under light. Grab this one while the market is favorable — Surging Sparks product keeps moving, and quality secret rares at this price don't stay accessible forever.
