2024 Pokemon Company Scarlet & Violet Special Illustration Rare Hydrapple #167/142

The back of this card shows the standard Pokémon TCG back design — a classic Poké Ball centered on a deep blue swirling background, consistent with all modern Scarlet & Violet era cards. On the front, Hydrapple ex is presented as a striking Special Illustration Rare (SIR), numbered 167/142 beyond the main set — a hyper-rare pull from Stellar Crown. The card features Hydrapple's Ability, Ripening Charge, which lets you attach a Basic Grass Energy from your hand to any of your Pokémon once per turn, healing 30 damage from that Pokémon. Its attack, Syrup Storm, deals a base 30 damage plus 30 more for each Grass Energy attached to all of your Pokémon — rewarding aggressive energy stacking. A powerful Stage 2 ex with 330 HP, illustrated by Teeziro in a vivid, textured art style.
