Price: $170.00
Blastoise ex from the Scarlet & Violet—151 set, card number 200/165, clocks in as a Special Illustration Rare in raw condition. This one’s a full art beauty, with the artwork showing Blastoise in a dynamic pose, water blasting everywhere against a stormy backdrop that really pops in person.
The holo foil on this card shimmers with that watery gleam, catching light in ways that make the cannons look ready to fire. It’s a Water-type Stage 2 Pokémon ex with 330 HP. The Ability is Solid Shell, letting it take 30 less damage from attacks after applying Weakness and Resistance. Attacks include Twin Cannons, where you discard up to 2 Basic Water Energy from it to do 140 damage for each one tossed—solid for building up big hits in a deck.
This card dropped in the Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion back in 2023, part of that nostalgic throwback to the original 151 Pokémon. Printing quirks? Yeah, these SIR cards from 151 often come with pretty consistent centering, but watch for slight off-centering on the borders, especially the bottom edge where the text sits. The card stock is that modern SV-era stuff, thick and sturdy, but raw copies can pick up minor whitening if not handled right. Holo pattern is a subtle swirl that ties into the water theme without overwhelming the art.
In raw shape, you’re looking at sharp corners that hold up well, assuming no dings from packs—edges might show faint wear from shuffling if it’s been played, but clean ones stay crisp. Surface is usually pristine, with no scratches marring that full art illustration, and the holo flash gives off a cool, rippling effect under lights. Centering’s often 60/40 or better, making it eye-catching straight out of the booster.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—keeps that shell solid either way.
