Description
The Manaphy XY113 holo promo card from the XY Black Star Promos series represents a distinct piece of Pokémon TCG history released in 2013. As a Basic Water-type Pokémon, this card is identified by the set code PR-XY and carries Pokédex number 490. The design, illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga, showcases the character in the signature holographic finish typical of promotional releases from this era. In gameplay, Manaphy offers strategic utility through its Water Marine Guidance attack, allowing players to search their deck for another Water Pokémon, reveal it, and add it to their hand before shuffling. Its Aqua Ring attack provides defensive flexibility by switching Manaphy with a benched Pokémon for just 30 damage. With a modest HP of 70 and a retreat cost of 1, this card balances offensive search capabilities with tactical positioning. Collectors value the Manaphy XY113 for its unique promo status and its role in the XY era of the trading card game. It serves as a key addition for enthusiasts building specialized collections or seeking rare promotional variants. The combination of the Black Star Promos branding and the holographic treatment makes this card a notable item for those interested in the broader landscape of Pokémon collectibles.
