PSA 10 Hex Maniac is a graded copy of Hex Maniac No. 181/171 (XY-BEST) from the High Class Pack “The Best of XY”, and we list it as a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) card. Hex Maniac is a Trainer Supporter that disables Abilities for a turn cycle, so this is a graded Trainer card, not a Pokémon.

- PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the grade on this card, and the listing notes the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks.
- Hex Maniac is a Trainer, Supporter card: it disables Abilities for all Pokémon in play, in hands and in discard piles until the end of your opponent’s next turn.
- Two product pages carry this card, and both use the same name and description.

What does Hex Maniac do in the game?
Hex Maniac switches off Abilities for every Pokémon until the end of your opponent’s next turn. The official card text reads: “Until the end of your opponent’s next turn, Abilities are disabled for all Pokémon in play, in both players’ hands, and in both discard piles. This includes Pokémon that enter play that turn.”
Three parts of that text matter:
- Both sides are affected. The text says “all Pokémon” and “both players”, so your own Abilities are off too.
- It reaches beyond the board. Hands and both discard piles are named, so Abilities that work from those places are covered.
- New arrivals are covered. Pokémon that enter play that turn are disabled as well.
The official page lists the card as a Trainer with the sub-type Supporter. It also credits the illustrator of the XY7 printing as Yusuke Ohmura and gives the rarity of that printing as Uncommon.
The duration is the other thing to read closely. The effect lasts until the end of your opponent’s next turn, so it covers the rest of the turn you play it and your opponent’s following turn. That window is written into the card text itself.
| Part of the card text | What it covers |
|---|---|
| “Until the end of your opponent’s next turn” | The duration of the effect |
| “all Pokémon in play” | Pokémon on both players’ boards |
| “in both players’ hands, and in both discard piles” | Pokémon in hands and in both discard piles |
| “Pokémon that enter play that turn” | Pokémon that arrive during that turn |
What does the number 181/171 mean on this Hex Maniac?
The number 181/171 is the card number of this Hex Maniac in High Class Pack “The Best of XY”, as written in our product name. It is not the number on the official English-language page, which lists Hex Maniac as 75/98 in XY-Ancient Origins (XY7).
Both cards are Hex Maniac, but the numbers and sets differ, so the number is what tells them apart. The table below puts the two side by side.
| Detail | Our PSA 10 listing | Official card page |
|---|---|---|
| Number | 181/171 | 75/98 |
| Set | High Class Pack “The Best of XY” (XY-BEST) | XY-Ancient Origins (XY7) |
| Grade | PSA 10 (Gem Mint) | Not applicable |
| Rarity | Not stated on the listing | Uncommon |
| Type | Not stated on the listing | Trainer, Supporter |
| Illustrator | Not stated on the listing | Yusuke Ohmura |
The official page covers the XY7 card only. For the 181/171 card, our listing gives the name, number, set and grade, and those are the facts to rely on.
What does PSA 10 mean for this Hex Maniac?
PSA 10 (Gem Mint) is the grade this card carries. Our listing describes it as the highest grade certifiable by Professional Sports Authenticator, awarded only to cards in flawless, gem mint condition.
The listing adds a separate note about the holder: the PSA case may have minor scratches or marks on its surface. That note is part of the product description on both pages.
Why are there two PSA 10 Hex Maniac product pages?
We have two product pages for PSA 10 Hex Maniac 181/171, and they use the same product name and the same description. The URLs end in psabo-696 and psa10-696.
Both describe the same card: Hex Maniac 181/171, graded PSA 10, from High Class Pack “The Best of XY”.
How does shipping work for PSA 10 Hex Maniac?
Shipping cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address, and our shipping policy sets out two FedEx options, both with a tracking number.
- Standard: FedEx International Connect Plus, usually 3-7 business days after dispatch.
- Expedited: FedEx International Priority, usually 2-5 business days after dispatch.
Those times are estimates only. They do not include our handling time, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country conditions. Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and that window is also an estimate.
PSA graded cards may also be offered through our other sales channels. Orders from different channels can arrive almost at the same time, so a PSA item shown online may already be sold before our team locks the allocation for your order. Once your payment has cleared, we secure the PSA graded card matching your order, even if additional sourcing is required, and dispatch may take longer in that case. We provide status updates whenever the schedule changes.
FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes, so give a physical shipping address at checkout. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders; the destination country cannot be changed. After an order is handed to FedEx, customs inspections and carrier events may delay delivery, and such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.

The payment methods page lists Wise bank transfer, PayPal, and credit or debit cards through PayPal, and all payments are made in Japanese yen.
