First released in the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: 151 set in 2023, as a Special Illustration Rare celebrating the original 151 Kanto Pokémon[2][3].

• Features dynamic artwork highlighting Zapdos's electric aura and floating pose

Condition. Check for centering issues on the intricate Special Illustration Rare artwork, print lines, edge wear, and surface scratches common on textured foil; focus on vibrant colors and holo patterns remaining sharp.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading of electric-themed colors and foil oxidation.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern alignment, font sharpness on 'ex' and numbering, card weight/thickness, and UV light reaction on foil; compare to official scans from TCGPlayer or Pokémon database, avoid miscut edges or blurry text indicative of counterfeits.
