Poliwrath

Description

As a Water-type Pokémon, this card is defined by its substantial 150 Hit Points, making it a durable presence in the Trading Card Game. The release features a Holo Rare finish, a treatment that has long been favored by collectors for its shimmering aesthetic and distinct tactile appeal within the Sun & Moon series. Beyond its visual design, Poliwrath is known for its unique gameplay mechanics. The card features the Water Split Spiral Punch attack, which deals 30 damage and applies the Confused status to the opponent’s Active Pokémon. More notably, it includes Wake-Up Slap, an attack that deals 80 damage plus an additional 80 if the opponent's Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition. This ability allows the user to remove all Special Conditions from that Pokémon, providing strategic value for players looking to clear status effects. For enthusiasts of Pokémon collectibles, this card represents a key piece of the Sun & Moon era. Designed by Midori Harada, the card captures the essence of the Fighting/Water dual-type Pokémon. Collectors often seek out this release to complete their Sun & Moon base set collections or to acquire Holo Rare variants for their vintage appeal. The combination of its nostalgic design, strategic utility, and status as a rare parallel makes it a respected addition to any Pokémon TCG portfolio.
