Pokémon TCG Venusaur ex 198/165 (151 Set)

This is a full-art, holographic Pokémon Trading Card Game card featuring Venusaur ex, specifically card number 198/165 from the '151' set (identified by the 'G' symbol and set number 198/165, indicating it is likely a Secret Rare or Special Illustration Rare due to exceeding the base set count of 165). The card depicts Venusaur in a lush, highly detailed floral environment, indicative of a special illustration artistic style. The background is a vibrant tapestry of various flowers and foliage in shades of pink, green, yellow, and blue, creating an immersive scene for the Pokémon. Venusaur itself is rendered with its characteristic blue-green skin, large pink flower on its back, and leafy collar. The card uses the 'ex' mechanic, signified by 'Venusaur ex' as its name, granting it 340 HP and two attacks: 'Tranquil Flower' (an Ability that heals 60 damage from one of your Pokémon) and 'Dangerous Toxwhip' (inflicting 150 damage and leaving the opponent's Active Pokémon Confused and Poisoned). The weakness is indicated as Fire (Fx2), with no resistance or retreat cost. The 'Pokémon ex rule' box specifies that when the Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The illustrator's name, 'Tetsuya Koizumi,' is visible in the bottom left corner. The card appears to be in excellent condition, housed within a clear plastic sleeve inside a binder, protecting it from wear. There are no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, suggesting it has been well-preserved. The holographic foil is evident across the entire card face, common for full-art cards, enhancing its visual appeal. The craftsmanship is high-quality, with crisp printing and vibrant colors, typical of official Pokémon TCG products. The estimated age is recent, correlating with the release of the '151' set.
