Pokémon TCG — Poliwhirl 176/165 · Scarlet & Violet 151 (MEW) · Illustration Rare · Holofoil

This is the Illustration Rare (IR) full-art holofoil version of Poliwhirl — numbered 176/165, placing it firmly in the secret rare tier beyond the set's standard 165-card run. Illustrated by Gemi, the artwork depicts Poliwhirl wading through a reflective urban puddle beneath glowing streetlights, its iconic spiral belly shimmering against the holographic foil background — a moody, atmospheric scene that collectors immediately recognize as one of the set's standout pieces.

Scarlet & Violet 151 is no ordinary expansion. It reunites all 151 original Kanto Pokémon in a single set for the first time since the Wizards of the Coast era, numbered in strict Pokédex order from Bulbasaur to Mew. Market pricing for this Near Mint holofoil sits around $40–$57 across active listings, with graded copies (PSA 10, CGC 10) commanding meaningful premiums. The set's cultural staying power has kept IR values elevated well above typical modern releases.
