In the 2023 Japanese Scarlet & Violet “Pokémon Card 151” expansion, this Art Rare Poliwhirl (No. 176/165) is a distinctive foil Water-type trading card in the Pokémon TCG. Illustrated by Gemi, the full-art design shows Poliwhirl wading in a reflective urban puddle under glowing streetlights, its iconic spiral belly and blue body shimmering against a holographic foil background. As a secret alternate-art rare (beyond the set’s standard numbering), this foil card appeals to collectors for its exclusive artwork and nod to classic Kanto-region Pokémon. For players, Poliwhirl’s 90 HP and straightforward Water attacks (like Splash and Frog Jump) make it a practical Stage 1 in casual decks, but its real draw is the eye-catching artwork and collector-level rarity in this Pokémon trading card set.
