This 1999 Japanese Pokémon TCG promo card features Raticate (ラッタ) from the tropical-themed **Southern Islands** mini-set. The Southern Islands set was a special 18-card promotional release (boxed as a complete collection and marked with a palm-tree symbol) rather than a standard booster set. The card’s artwork shows Raticate amidst lush island foliage, highlighted by a vibrant holographic foil pattern that sparkles across the background – its illustration is actually one piece of a larger panorama formed by all 18 cards. As a rare holo Japanese promo, this vintage Raticate trading card is prized by collectors for its unique alternate art and nostalgic appeal from the classic era of the Pokémon TCG.
