Golisopod Holo 026/078

This is Golisopod, card 026/078 from the Pokemon GO set. The Holo treatment gives the artwork its shiny finish, catching the light across the picture window and showing off the heavy armoured plating that makes this Pokemon so distinctive.

The Pokemon GO set connected the trading card game to the hugely popular mobile game, and it mixed familiar faces with a handful of less common picks like Golisopod. As a Holo rare, this card sits above the commons and uncommons you would normally pull, and the number 026/078 places it within the main numbered run rather than the special cards at the end of the set.

Golisopod has a loyal following thanks to its imposing look and its first stage form, so collectors who enjoy the tougher, more unusual designs tend to seek it out. It slots neatly into a Pokemon GO set build or a focused single Pokemon collection.
