2025 Pokemon Company Terastal Festival ex AR Hydrapple #068/063

This is the Japanese Art Rare (AR) version of Hydrapple (カミツオロチ) from the Scarlet & Violet set Terastal Festival ex (sv9a), numbered 068/063 — a super-rare beyond the standard set limit. Illustrated by Jerky, the card depicts the seven-headed Grass-type dragon in a stunning full-art holographic composition bursting with vibrant color and energy beams. As a Stage 2 Pokémon with 170 HP, Hydrapple wields two attacks: Orochi Breath, which KOs the opponent's Active Pokémon by discarding six Basic Grass Energy from hand (or the attack fails), and Whip Smash for a solid 140 damage. The flavor text on the back notes that seven Applin came together to create a dango-style living arrangement, with the centermost Applin acting as the leader — a charming nod to its origin story.
