Blastoise & Piplup GX from Cosmic Eclipse, Secret Rare, PSA 10. This one’s the rainbow holo version at 253/236, teaming up the cannon-toting turtle with its tiny penguin pal in a dynamic duo pose. Artwork shows Blastoise looming large, hydro pumps at the ready, while Piplup perches confidently—kinda like a mentor and sidekick staring down a tidal wave.

Card’s Water type, packing 270 HP as a TAG TEAM-GX. Ability’s Splash Maker: once per turn, attach up to 3 Water Energy from deck to your Pokémon, but they take 30 damage each. Attacks include Bubble Launcher for 100+ (discard Energy for extra 100 and Paralyze), and the GX move Massive Splash GX hits everything on the bench for 150 (with extra Energy for the tag team bonus). Solid for Water decks that ramp energy fast, though that self-damage keeps it tactical.

Cosmic Eclipse dropped in 2019, wrapping up the Sun & Moon era with a bang—over 270 cards, heavy on TAG TEAM-GX pairs that mixed evo lines in fresh ways. This printing stands out as the Secret Rare rainbow, with that full-art foil sheen pulling in collectors who dig the evolutionary callback to Blastoise’s Kanto roots. Piplup adds a cute contrast, making it feel like a story card from Diamond & Pearl vibes updated for modern play.

In a PSA 10 slab, expect razor-sharp corners and centering that lines up just right, giving it serious eye appeal under lights—the rainbow holo pops without a single flaw, like it was minted yesterday. Population-wise, based on reports, these hover around 80 in Gem Mint, not flooding the scene but findable for dedicated hunters. Edges stay clean, surface flawless, no whitening to spoil the view. I’d stash this in a display case next to other Water heavies, maybe with a Wartortle for the full line feel—nothing beats that slab crackle when it arrives.
