Venusaur EX XY28

This is Venusaur EX, an XY era promo card carrying the collector number XY28. Promo cards like this one were distributed outside the standard booster sets, often through special releases and tie in products, which gives them a slightly different status to the cards pulled from packs.

This printing is a Shiny variant, so Venusaur appears in its alternate shiny colouring rather than its usual palette. Shiny cards have a dedicated following because the recoloured artwork stands apart from the regular version, and shiny promos of fan favourite starters tend to attract extra interest.

As a Pokemon EX card, this is one of the heavier hitters of its time, known for striking full art presentation. Venusaur is one of the original Kanto starter final forms, so it holds a steady place in the affections of collectors who grew up with the first generation. A shiny EX promo of Venusaur is a tidy addition to a starter collection or an XY promo run.
