Celebi & Venusaur GX from Tag Bolt, that’s the full art secret rare numbered 097/095, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. Japanese printing, yeah, the one that pairs up these two grass legends in a tag team setup.
Artwork on this one’s got that dynamic duo vibe—Venusaur looking beefy and ready to rumble, with Celebi floating all mystical above, vines and energy swirling around like they’re about to unleash some forest fury. The colors pop with those deep greens and subtle glows; it’s got a real sense of motion that draws you in without overdoing it.
Card text keeps it straightforward: Grass type, 270 HP, which is hefty for a tag team. Ability is Evergreen GX—lets you heal and attach energy, solid for stalling setups. Attacks include Pollen Hazard for poison and burn shenanigans, and the big Solar Beam GX that hits for 200 while ignoring effects. Weak to fire, resists nothing obvious, retreat cost of three. It’s built for those grass decks that want control and big swings.
Tag Bolt dropped in late 2018 as part of the Sun & Moon era, SM9 in Japan. This printing stands out because it’s the Japanese version of Team Up’s tag team intro, with that secret rare rainbow foil edge that the English ones chase after. Tag teams were a fresh mechanic then, mixing Pokémon for GX attacks, and this one’s a nod to classic Kanto with a mythical twist—Celebi bringing time-travel flair to Venusaur’s brute force. Not the most meta-dominant, but it held its own in expanded formats where grass synergies shine.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—centering likely dead on or close, edges crisp, corners sharp as a Razor Leaf. Eye appeal’s high with that full art spread; no whitening or print lines mucking it up. Pop reports show these Japanese tag teams aren’t flooding the market; I’d guess under 50 in PSA 10 for this specific one, given the set’s age and collector focus on English parallels.
I’d frame this one next to my base set Venusaur for that evolution line glow-up.
