About This Card

Cyclizar ex from Scarlet & Violet: Surging Sparks is a standout entry in the Tera Pokémon ex lineup, and this copy has been awarded the highest possible grade by CGC — a 10 Pristine, representing a flawless card with perfect centering, four sharp corners, clean edges, and a surface free of any imperfections. The standard ex Holofoil finish features the diagonal sheet holo layout with a smooth, glossy surface that catches light cleanly across the card face, and as a Stellar-type Tera Pokémon, Cyclizar is rendered with a distinct translucent crystal crown reminiscent of a gemstone chandelier, overlaying a brilliant multi-layered starry pattern that makes this one of the more visually striking Double Rare prints in the set.

The Tera mechanic adds meaningful competitive depth to this card. As long as Cyclizar ex sits on your Bench, it is completely immune to all attack damage — a Bench protection rule that makes it a safe setup piece in any deck running it. Break Through offers solid spread utility at 130 damage to the Active plus 30 to a Benched Pokémon, while Zircon Road's 180 damage paired with drawing 5 cards is a powerful swing turn for a three-energy attack, giving Cyclizar ex genuine competitive relevance in Surging Sparks format builds.

A CGC 10 Pristine grade is the pinnacle of professional grading — CGC's most stringent designation, awarded only to cards that meet the highest standards across all four grading criteria. For a glossy holofoil card where surface imperfections are immediately visible, a Pristine 10 represents an exceptionally rare find and commands a significant premium over both raw copies and lower-graded slabs.

Why This Card?

• CGC 10 Pristine — The Highest Grade: CGC's Pristine 10 is awarded only to cards meeting the strictest standards across centering, corners, edges, and surface — the rarest and most valuable grade designation, commanding a significant premium over raw and lower-graded copies.
• Stellar Tera Visual Distinction: The translucent crystal crown and multi-layered starry pattern unique to Stellar-type Tera Pokémon make this one of the most visually striking Double Rare prints in Surging Sparks — a display piece as well as a competitive card.
• Bench Immunity — Tera Rule: Complete protection from all attack damage while on the Bench makes Cyclizar ex a safe, versatile setup piece in any deck, adding competitive utility that drives demand from players alongside collectors.
• Zircon Road Swing Potential: 180 damage plus drawing 5 cards for three energy is a powerful combination — giving Cyclizar ex a legitimate role as a late-game attacker and resource engine in the right build.
• Slab Security: Professionally graded and encased in a CGC slab, this card is fully protected from further condition degradation — what you see in the grade is what you get, with CGC's authentication backing every detail.
