Froakie 088/086

This Illustration Rare Froakie from Chaos Rising (088/086) is one of those cards that quietly slips into a binder page and then keeps catching your eye every time you flip past. As a Basic Pokémon, it slots neatly into any Froakie or Greninja evolution line you are building from the set, but the real draw here is the artwork. Susumu Maeya’s illustration gives Froakie a lot of character, the sort of scene that feels like a snapshot from its own little story rather than a generic pose.

Chaos Rising has its share of chase cards, and the Illustration Rares are where the personality of the set really shows. This Froakie is perfect if you are focusing on illustration variants, building out a dedicated Greninja line page, or just like having lower stage Pokémon with premium artwork alongside their higher rarity evolutions. The offbeat collector number 088/086 also adds that bit of secret rarity flavour that stands out when you are sorting through the set. This is a mint condition raw single, shipped carefully in protection with tracked postage from Brisbane.
