Samurott Illustration Rare from the White Flare set, clocking in at number 107 out of 086, hits the table as a solid raw copy in near mint shape. You’ve got that full-art vibe where the artwork pops with Samurott mid-battle, shells gleaming under some dynamic waves, and the illustrator really leaned into those fierce eyes staring you down. The holo pattern swirls across the background like it’s trying to mimic ocean currents, catching light in a way that makes the whole card shimmer without overdoing it.
On the card text side, it’s a Water-type Stage 2 evolution from Dewott with 170 HP. Ability-wise, it’s got “Shell Armor” that reduces damage from attacks by 20, keeping it tanky in a pinch. Attacks include “Aqua Blade” for 120 damage with a coin flip to discard an Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and a basic “Tackle” for 50 if you’re building up. Nothing too flashy, but it plays well in Water decks that need some bulk.
White Flare dropped back in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era expansions, pulling from Japanese prints with that Illustration Rare subset chasing after unique artist takes on fan-favorite ‘mons. Raw copies from this set often show up with decent centering—think 60/40 splits on the borders if you’re lucky, though some pulls have that slight off-center holo foil that’s common in mass prints. The card stock feels sturdy, not too prone to warping, but watch for factory miscuts on the edges if you’re inspecting a stack.
Diving into raw condition, this one’s corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without whitening from shuffling mishaps, and the surface is scratch-free, letting that holo flash do its thing under the lights. Centering looks balanced, maybe 55/45 top to bottom, with no print lines marring the art. It’s the kind of pull that sits pretty in a binder. Sleeve it up for your next local tourney or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s got that Samurott swagger.
