Serperior ex from the SV: Black Bolt set, card number 164/086, comes as a special illustration rare in raw condition. This one’s a standout with its elegant Grass-type vibe, showing the regal snake Pokémon coiled amid lush vines and glowing energy swirls. The artwork pops with that special illustration flair, where the holo pattern shimmers across the foliage like morning dew catching sunlight, giving it a subtle depth that draws your eye right in.
On the card text side, it’s a Grass-type ex with 310 HP, packing an Ability called Noble Roar that lets you search your deck for up to two basic Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon. Attacks include Jungle Whip at 200 damage, which heals 50 from this Pokémon if you have more Prize cards left than your opponent, and it’s weak to Fire with a retreat cost of two. Solid setup for Grass decks, especially if you’re building around energy acceleration without overcomplicating things.
Released in 2024 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era Japanese expansions, SV: Black Bolt focused on dynamic illustrations and ex mechanics, with print runs that sometimes showed minor centering drifts—think 60/40 splits on holos being pretty common. The card stock here feels sturdy, typical of modern prints, though raw copies can pick up light whitening if not handled carefully.
For raw condition, this copy’s corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without the usual factory chipping you see on bulk pulls, and the surface is smooth, free of scratches or print lines that plague some holos. The holo flash is crisp, with that foil bleed extending nicely into the borders for a full immersive shine under light.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for whatever deck you throw it in.
