Scizor ex 145/103 puts a 2005 EX-era Metal-type Stage 1 ex back into circulation, reprinted from a 2005 Rare Holo ex (Ultra Rare) at #108/115 with its original art, ability and both attacks untouched. It’s a genuine chase card from its own era, not a filler pick, and that pedigree is worth knowing before you go looking for it.
Scizor ex 145/103 reprints the 2005 EX Unseen Forces Rare Holo ex (#108/115) illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita — Danger Perception, Steel Wing and Cross-Cut, all unchanged. As a Classic Collection card it has no regulation letter and is not Standard-legal. The M6a 30th CELEBRATION booster box is the Japanese set that contains it.
- Set reference: 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list.
- Sealed Japanese Pokemon booster boxes are listed on our store as of this update.

What Is the Scizor ex 145/103 Reprint?
Pokemon published the official card list for M6a 30th CELEBRATION on 9 September 2026, and it covers the main set (001–103), the Classic Collection (136–165) and the eight Basic Energy in full. Scizor ex sits inside that confirmed Classic Collection block, at card number 145/103, JP name ハッサムex, illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita — both the card number and the illustrator credit are in the official pokemon-card.com database.
Like the other 29 cards in the 136–165 run, Scizor ex is a Classic Collection card with no regulation letter next to the M6a set code and is explicitly not usable under current Standard rules — it’s a display and collecting card, playable only in whichever legacy format the 2005 original is legal in. Two independent English-language checklist trackers (Bill’s Archive and thornberrymedia), compiling the equivalent English “30th Celebration” Ultra-Premium Collection, both list this same card as slot 10 of 30 in their reprint run, matching our Japanese numbering.
The Original Print: EX Unseen Forces Scizor ex #108/115
The card being reprinted is Scizor ex, EX Unseen Forces (UF), #108/115, 2005 — a Rare Holo ex (Ultra Rare) printing at #108/115, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. On the Japanese side, Bulbapedia’s printings data places the original release in the “Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean” set at #096/106.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Original set / number | EX Unseen Forces (UF), #108/115 |
| Year | 2005 |
| Rarity | Rare Holo ex (Ultra Rare) |
| Illustrator | Mitsuhiro Arita |
| Type / HP / Stage | Metal / 120 / Stage 1 (evolves from Scyther or Scyther ex) |
| Ability — Danger Perception | While Scizor ex’s remaining HP is 60 or less, it does 40 more damage to the Defending Pokemon |
| Attack — Steel Wing (Metal + Colorless) | 40 damage; during the opponent’s next turn, damage to Scizor ex from attacks is reduced by 20 |
| Attack — Cross-Cut (Colorless ×3) | 50 damage; 50 more damage (100 total) if the Defending Pokemon is an Evolved Pokemon |
| Weakness / Resistance / Retreat | Fire / Grass / 1 |
Danger Perception made Scizor ex a genuine threat as it took damage rather than a liability — drop below 60 remaining HP and every attack jumps by 40, turning a card that looks cornered into the more dangerous option. Steel Wing’s built-in damage reduction on the following turn extended that survivability further, and Cross-Cut punished the Evolved Pokemon that made up most competitive decks of the era. Bulbapedia notes that Steel Wing is also mechanically faithful to the games, where Scizor can learn the move via TM — a small detail, but one that shows the card text wasn’t just flavour.
Why Scizor ex Made the Classic Collection Cut
The block as a whole spans Base Set through the Scarlet & Violet era, and Scizor ex is the run’s EX-era Rare Holo ex; Metagross δ (146/103) is the era’s Holo Rare Delta Species entry — both from 2005, and both illustrated by artists whose credit carries straight through to the 30th reprint. Unlike Delcatty (143/103), which represents the EX era’s support/engine side, Scizor ex represents its top-end attacking cards — a reasonable pairing for a “history of the game” block to include both roles from the same era.
If you’re working through the wider Classic Collection block, our companion guides cover three more reprints from the same run: Delcatty 143/103, Metagross δ 146/103, and Palkia LV.X 147/103.

Our 30th anniversary reprints list rounds up the full Classic Collection as each entry is confirmed.
