Octillery 178/163

Octillery is a Gold Secret Rare from Battle Styles, a set in the Sword and Shield era. The numbering confirms its status: 178 sits above the set total of 163, which marks the card as a secret rare appearing beyond the main numbered list. Gold Secret Rares carry a metallic gold finish across the card frame and artwork, giving them a distinctive look within the set.

Octillery is a recognisable Pokemon from the Johto region, known for its rounded, octopus like design. Gold Secret Rare versions of Pokemon are popular with collectors who enjoy completing the secret range of a set, since they sit at the top of the number list and stand out from the standard printings.

Collectors look for clean Gold Secret Rares because the bright metallic surface can show handling and scratches quickly, so a tidy raw copy is worth seeking out. It rounds out a Battle Styles secret rare run and adds a striking gold piece to an Octillery collection.
