Rainbow Rare Pokemon Appraisal

Whimsicott GX Rainbow Rare Pokémon Card

This item is a Whimsicott GX collectible trading card from the Pokémon franchise, specifically a 'Rainbow Rare' variant as indicated by the holographic, rainbow-hued border and text elements. The card features a vibrant illustration of the Pokémon Whimsicott, a fluffy, cloud-like creature with green and brown accents, appearing to be within an indoor setting with a window in the background. The card is a "STAGE 1" evolution, evolving from Cottonee, and boasts 140 HP. Its primary attack, 'Grass Knot,' deals '40+' damage, with an additional 30 damage for each Energy in the opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. It has a weakness of '+20' against Fire-type Pokémon and no visible resistance or retreat cost. The card is an 'EX' rule card, meaning that when this Pokémon GX is Knocked Out, the opponent gets 2 Prize cards. The visible condition suggests it is likely in excellent to near-mint condition, given the crisp edges and vibrant colors, though precise assessment requires a closer look at the surface for scratches or printing imperfections. The unique rainbow foiling is a key aesthetic and value-influencing feature, typical of Full Art GX cards from specific expansions. The card's estimated age corresponds to the period when GX cards were in circulation, likely from a set released between 2017 and 2019, such as Sun & Moon: Forbidden Light or Unified Minds.
