Pokémon Serperior ex 164/086 Sv: Black Bolt Holo Illustration Rare English Card
Price: $38.49
Serperior ex from the Scarlet & Violet era, numbered 164/086, comes as a holo illustration rare in raw condition. This one’s got that full-art vibe with Serperior coiled up in a lush forest scene, vines twisting everywhere, and the holo foil giving off a subtle green shimmer that pops under the right angle. Not over-the-top, but it draws the eye when you flip through a binder.
On the card text side, it’s a Grass-type ex with 280 HP. The Ability lets you attach extra Energy from your discard pile once per turn, setting up for big plays. Attacks include Black Bolt, which does 200 damage and paralyzes if you have the right Energy setup, plus a weaker one for quick hits. Solid for Grass decks that need some control.
This printing dropped in late 2023 as part of the SV expansions, pulling from Japanese sets where illustration rares like this got that extra artistic flair. Raw copies often show up with decent centering—maybe 60/40 on a good day—but watch for the card stock; it’s got that slight curl from the holo layer, common in these English pulls. Edges can have minor whitening if it’s been shuffled around, but most come clean out of packs.
Speaking of raw details, corners on this one are sharp, no dings that I can spot, though you might see a tiny nick if it’s traveled. Edges hold up white and crisp, minimal wear from handling. Surface is smooth, free of scratches, with the holo flash intact—no clouding or peel. Centering’s off just a hair on the bottom border, but it doesn’t kill the look.
Sleeve it up for your deck or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for whatever.
