Hydrapple ex Special Illustration Rare

I’m just so pleased this art has proven so popular. It’s bloody marvellous!
It’s also a brilliant card to have in pretty much any deck, because if you can get that two-step evolution done on your bench, you can now attach an extra Energy every single turn, while also healing 30 damage each time, and it’s damned hard for your opponent to do anything about it. Not least with that ridiculous 330HP.
Then, after you’ve had it sitting on your bench supporting the rest of your deck, you can bring it into play to deliver a wild 30x attack for every Energy you’ve got attached to anything else.
All that makes for a card that’s still fetching over $36, only losing $8 from its initial peak.
