Nidoking 174/165

This is Nidoking, card 174/165 from the 151 set. The first number (174) running past the set total of 165 places it in the special range printed beyond the main numbered list, which is where the Illustration Rare cards sit. The Illustration Rare tag confirms the treatment: a full scene artwork that frames Nidoking in a detailed setting rather than the standard card layout.

The 151 set revisits the original Kanto Pokedex, gathering the first generation Pokemon into a single nostalgia driven expansion. Nidoking, a powerful late evolution from that original line up, is a long standing fan favourite, and the Illustration Rare style gives its artwork extra depth and character that collectors look for.

For collectors working through the 151 Illustration Rares, or anyone with a soft spot for the original Kanto roster, this Nidoking is a strong addition. It combines a classic Pokemon with the art led approach that has made Illustration Rares one of the most collected card types in recent years.
