Dark Ampharos - Neo Destiny Set (Holographic Rare) - 1/105

This is a vintage Pokémon Trading Card Game card featuring the character Dark Ampharos, released as part of the Neo Destiny expansion in 2002. The card is a Stage 2, lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP. It features the signature 'Neo' era layout with a dark, atmospheric holographic background displaying a planetary or cosmic theme with circular 'holo-swirl' patterns. The artwork is illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, depicting the Pokémon surrounded by electrical energy and dark clouds. Physically, the card is standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches, printed on layered cardstock with a distinctive yellow border. Notable text includes the 'Conductivity' Pokémon Power and the 'Shock Bolt' attack. Regarding condition, the card appears to have centering that is slightly biased toward the left. The edges show minor wear, and there is visible surface light scratching or 'clouding' on the holographic foil, which is common for older holos. There is a small speck or nick visible on the top yellow border. The bottom right corner shows the set symbol (a sparkling orb) and the collector number 1/105, indicating its status as a Rare Holo. The copyright at the bottom reads '©1995-2001 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK.' and 'Wizards of the Coast,' dating it to the end of the original English production era. Overall, the card retains good color saturation and surface integrity but shows signs of handling consistent with an unslabbed, 'played' or 'lightly played' ungraded item.
