Serperior ex Special Illustration Rare from the SV: Black Bolt set, card number 164/086, in raw near mint condition. This one’s got that sleek, serpentine vibe with vines twisting around in a dynamic pose, the special illustration popping with vibrant greens and subtle shading that makes the artwork feel alive under any light. The holo pattern shimmers across the foliage, catching reflections in a way that’s subtle but eye-catching without overwhelming the details.
On the card text side, it’s a Grass-type Pokémon ex with 280 HP, packing an Ability called Jungle Heal that lets you heal 20 damage from each of your Pokémon once per turn if you have more Prize cards remaining than your opponent. Attacks include Royal Tornado for 220 damage, which discards a Grass Energy but hits hard if you evolved from Servine that turn, and it’s weak to Fire with no resistance, retreat cost of two. Standard ex rule applies—opponent takes two Prize cards when it’s knocked out.
This set dropped in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era, focusing on Paldean themes with some Kanto callbacks, though Black Bolt was a smaller Japanese release that highlighted electric and grass evolutions. Raw copies often show up with decent centering, but watch for those common edge whitening quirks from pack pulls, especially on the holo borders where the foil can sometimes have minor factory scuffs. Print quality is solid overall, with thick card stock that holds up well.
In this raw NM state, the corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean and mostly free of wear, surface smooth without scratches or whitening, and the holo flash is bright, no clouding or dents marring the illustration. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty typical for these pulls, with no major print lines or miscuts. It’s one of those cards that just sits nicely in a binder page. Sleeve it up for a deck or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s got that coiled potential.
