Blastoise EX 200/165

Blastoise ex is a Special Illustration Rare from the 151 set, carded as 200/165. Because the collector number (200) sits above the set size (165), this card falls into the run printed beyond the main set, where the top art tier cards are found.

The 151 set revisits the original Kanto line up, and its Special Illustration Rares pair that nostalgia with full scene artwork that extends across the card face. As an ex card, Blastoise carries the high power and prize trade off of the ex mechanic, but for collectors the draw is the artwork and the elevated rarity.

Blastoise is one of the original Kanto starters and a long standing favourite, so its Special Illustration Rare from 151 is a natural target for both Blastoise collectors and those building the set. The combination of a classic Pokemon and the highest art rarity keeps interest in this card strong.
