Orthworm ex (#162/142) is a secret Ultra Rare trading card from the 2024 Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet – Stellar Crown expansion. Illustrated by Planeta Mochizuki, this full-art holofoil card shows Orthworm’s segmented metal body coiled against a glowing green, hexagonal-patterned background, with the foil accents giving the steel plating a dynamic, radiant sheen. In battle, Orthworm ex boasts 220 HP, the Pummeling Payback Ability (which deals damage counters to any attacker that strikes it), and a 150-power Rock Tomb attack that also prevents the opponent’s Active Pokémon from retreating – making it a heavy hitter in Metal-type decks. As a shiny secret Rare from Gen 9’s latest set, its striking foil artwork and powerful stats make it especially prized by collectors completing the Stellar Crown set and by competitive players looking for a strong new Pokémon card.
