Pokémon Serperior EX 164/086 Sv: Black Bolt Holo Special Illustration Rare
Price: $47.85
Serperior EX from the Scarlet & Violet era, numbered 164/086, comes as a Holo Special Illustration Rare in raw condition. This one’s got that sleek, elongated serpent vibe twisting through vines and energy bursts in the artwork. The holo pattern catches light with a subtle shimmer, making the illustration pop without overwhelming the details.
On the card text side, it’s a Grass-type Basic Pokémon EX with 310 HP. Its Ability lets you search your deck for up to two Grass Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon once per turn. Then there’s the main attack, Black Bolt, which does 200 damage and requires three Energy—two Grass and one Colorless—but it also paralyzes the opponent’s Active Pokémon if you flip heads on a coin. Solid setup for energy acceleration in Grass decks, keeping things flowing turn after turn.
This card hails from a 2024 Japanese high-class pack release, part of the expanded Scarlet & Violet block where Special Illustration Rares like this one got unique numbering beyond the base set count. In raw pulls, you often see minor centering quirks—maybe a slight shift to the left on the borders, or the holo foil extending a tad unevenly into the art box. The card stock feels thick and premium, typical for these SV prints, with a smooth texture that holds up well if stored properly.
For raw condition specifics, the corners on this copy are sharp with no visible dings, edges show clean white without whitening or chipping, and the surface is scratch-free, letting that holo flash shine through clearly. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, which is decent for these illustrations, and there’s no print lines or clouding to mess with the vibe.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the table.
