Blastoise EX XY122 from the Red & Blue Collection, full art Black Star Promo, sitting at a PSA 6 grade which puts its raw equivalent in excellent shape with some minor wear. This one’s got that classic full art vibe where Blastoise is blasting water cannons in a dynamic pose, and the holo catches light like crazy across the blue waves and shell details. It’s a Water-type with 180 HP, packing the Deluge Ability that lets you attach Water Energy from your hand to your Pokémon as often as you want before attacking—handy for powering up fast. Then there’s the Hydro Bombard attack for 120 damage, splashing 30 more to two of your opponent’s bench sitters, ignoring weakness and resistance there.
Came out in 2016 as part of the XY era promos, bundled in those Red & Blue Collection boxes to celebrate the 20th anniversary, pulling from the original games with a modern twist. These promos often show up with centering that’s a bit hit or miss—think 60/40 or better on a good day—but the card stock is thick and sturdy, prone to minor edge chipping if handled rough. Print quality holds up well, though you might spot the occasional holo scratch from factory runs.
Diving into the raw condition details, since this one’s slabbed at PSA 6, imagine it raw: corners have light wear, maybe a tiny ding or two from normal play, but nothing major that ruins the look. Edges show faint whitening along the sides, typical for a card that’s seen a binder or two, without any deep chips. Surface is clean overall, with minimal scratches on the holo foil, keeping that flash intact when you tilt it under light—no heavy swirling or clouding. Centering leans decent, probably 70/30 or so, giving it a balanced frame without feeling off-kilter. The back’s got that promo stamp clear and crisp, no fading. Sleeve it quick or keep it in the slab—your call.
