The Pikachu ex cards

Pikachu ex appears on the card list as a Double Rare at 057/191, an Ultra Rare at 219/191, the Special Illustration Rare at 238/191 and a Hyper Rare at 247/191. Alolan Exeggutor ex appears at 133, 225, 242 and 248.

Pikachu ex 238/191 is £190, Pikachu ex 247/191 £51, Pikachu ex 219/191 £19 and Pikachu ex 057/191 £3.97.

Topaz Bolt has a unique Energy cost. Magneton's Overvolt Discharge Ability can attach any type of Basic Energy to your Pokémon, which makes that cost easier to meet, and once Topaz Bolt discards all the Energy, another Magneton can bring it back.
