This card
This is Hydreigon ex, card 119 of 191 from the Surging Sparks set, printed in 2024 as a Tera holo variant with RR rarity. The artwork, illustrated by 5ban Graphics, depicts a crystalline, prismatic rendering of Hydreigon's three heads amid shards of refracted color, consistent with the Tera treatment.

How it plays
Hydreigon ex has 330 HP and a Water-type (Tera) energy cost icon. Its passive ability states that as long as this Pokémon is on the Bench, all damage done to it by attacks, both yours and your opponent's, is prevented. Its first attack, Crashing Headbutt, costs one Water and one Colorless energy, deals 200 damage, and discards the top 3 cards of the opponent's deck. Its second attack, Obsidian, costs Psychic, Water, Colorless, and Colorless energy, deals 130 damage, and also deals 130 damage to 2 of the opponent's Benched Pokémon without applying Weakness or Resistance. It has a Grass weakness of x2, no listed resistance, a retreat cost of three, and follows the Pokémon ex rule granting the opponent 2 Prize cards when it is knocked out.
