Description
The 2017 Vaporeon-GX holo promo card (SM172) from the Pokémon SM Black Star Promos series stands out as a distinctive entry for Water-type enthusiasts and GX collectors. Designed by PLANETA Otani, this Stage 1 evolution of Eevee boasts 210 HP and introduces the unique Hydrating Drops ability, allowing players to heal 30 damage from their Active Water Pokémon once per turn. Its offensive capabilities are anchored by Hydro Pump, a versatile attack that scales damage based on attached Water Energy, and the powerful Water Cure Shower-GX move, which clears all damage from every Water Pokémon in play. As part of the SM Black Star Promos collection, this card represents a specific era of Pokémon TCG design where promotional releases offered unique gameplay mechanics not always found in standard expansions. The holo finish adds a premium visual appeal, making it a sought-after addition for those building specialized decks or completing set collections. Collectors value this card for its strategic utility in supporting Water-focused strategies and its status as a memorable GX release from the Sun & Moon era. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to expand your GX portfolio or a collector appreciating the artistry of PLANETA Otani, this promo card offers a compelling piece of Pokémon trading card history.
