Empoleon V (Battle Styles 040/163)
This is a standard-sized Pokémon trading card featuring Empoleon V from the Sword & Shield: Battle Styles expansion, released in 2021. The card is a 'Rapid Strike' variant, indicated by the blue and silver logo in the top right. It features art by Ayaka Yoshida, depicting the Water-type Pokémon in a dynamic, holographic 'Ultra Rare' finish. The card has a high-sheen, foil surface that reacts to light, highlighting the blue, white, and gold color palette of the character. The card text includes the 'Emperor's Eyes' ability and the 'Swirling Slice' attack, with a listed 210 HP. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a clear protective polypropylene sleeve, which has some surface glare. The card's centering looks relatively stable, though the left border appears slightly thinner than the right. No major creases, edge wear (whitening), or corner dings are visible from the front view, suggesting it is in 'Near Mint' or 'Lightly Played' condition pending a reverse-side inspection. The bottom left corner bears the set symbol (a stylized tower/shield) and the collector number 040/163. This is a mass-produced modern collectible printed by The Pokémon Company International.
