뜨아거 ex (Fuecoco ex)

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

Demand should remain steady among starter-Pokémon collectors and set completers, but broad speculative growth is less likely without stronger international demand or major play relevance.

Next months. Likely stable with small fluctuations tied to grading availability and condition-sensitive collector demand.

Long term. Modest appreciation is possible if Korean starter-set sealed products become harder to find, but gains should be gradual rather than explosive.

History

Fuecoco (Korean: 뜨아거) is the Fire-type starter Pokémon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet era, serving as one of Paldea’s three starter Pokémon and later appearing in multiple starter-product and special-art treatments. In card context, the character is significant as the low-number entry in the ex starter-set special-art lineup and as one of the most recognizable modern starter Pokémon from the ninth generation.

This Fuecoco ex full-art secret rare first appeared in the Korean Scarlet & Violet Starter Set ex product line released on 2023-02-28 in Korea; the related starter set is listed as the Korean '뜨아거&전룡 ex' starter set ex.

• The card number 124/103 identifies it as a secret rare full-art style card rather than a normal main-set numbering position.
• Fuecoco ex is the opening card in the special-art/secret tier for its set numbering block, making it the first of the high-end cards in that range.
• The Korean starter set product is a boxed starter deck product, which generally means this card was distributed through sealed starter-set product rather than as a standalone booster pull in the same way as a main expansion rare.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for whitening on corners and edges, surface scratches on the full-art foil, centering on both front and back, and any print lines or holo scuffing. Starter-set cards can also show handling wear from deck play, including edge nicking and minor bends.

Storage. Keep in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or card saver, store away from humidity and heat, and avoid repeated handling of the foil surface. For long-term preservation, keep the sealed starter product or the card itself in an archival sleeve inside a box with consistent climate.

Authenticity. Verify the exact Korean text, set numbering 124/103, and print quality of the full-art foil. Fakes often have poor color balance, blurry text, incorrect font weight, weak holographic pattern, or off-center borders. Compare the card’s texture, shine, and back coloration against authenticated Korean Pokémon cards from the same era.
