Hydrapple EX 167/142

This is Hydrapple ex from Stellar Crown, a Scarlet and Violet era set. The ex suffix marks it as a Pokemon ex, a powerful card type with a higher HP pool and strong attacks, balanced by the rule that a single Knock Out on an ex card hands the opponent two prize cards.

This printing is the Special Illustration Rare, as noted in its tags. Special Illustration Rare cards present the Pokemon in a detailed, scene based artwork with a textured finish, and they rank among the most desirable pulls in any Scarlet and Violet set. The card number 167/142 runs above the set's standard size of 142, placing it within the extended slots reserved for these special treatments.

Collectors look for the Special Illustration Rare Hydrapple ex for its artwork and its standing as one of the chase cards of the Stellar Crown set, with Hydrapple being one of the newer Pokemon introduced in that generation.
