Torkoal V 188/202

Torkoal V is a Full Art card from the Sword and Shield base set, the launch set of the era. Pokemon V cards bring high health and strong attacks, with the trade off that they give up extra prize cards when knocked out. The Full Art version, indicated by the 188/202 number sitting in the upper range of the set, extends the artwork across the entire card face for a bolder presentation than the regular copy.

Full Art V cards are a popular category for collectors who like to build galleries of a single Pokemon or work through a set's alternate art lineup. The textured foil finish gives these cards a distinctive feel, and Torkoal is a recognisable face from the Hoenn region that fans enjoy seeing in this treatment.

Collectors look for clean Full Art cards because the textured surface can pick up handling marks easily, so a tidy raw example keeps the artwork looking its best and suits a Sword and Shield set build.
