Ekans Reverse Holo 023/165

This is Ekans 023/165 from Scarlet and Violet 151, the English set that revisits the full original Kanto Pokedex with refreshed artwork. Ekans is one of the classic Kanto Pokemon, and its appearance here adds another familiar face to a release built around nostalgia.

This copy is the Reverse Holo version. On a Reverse Holo the holographic pattern covers the card border and frame rather than just the picture window, so the whole card shimmers while the illustration stays standard. Reverse Holos are printed for many cards across the set, which makes them a popular way to put together a parallel collection. The 023/165 number places Ekans within the main numbered run of the set.

Collectors look for the Reverse Holo versions when completing an alternate set or when they prefer the extra shine over the standard print. The recognisable Kanto design keeps this an easy addition for set builders.
