Tangela – Art Rare 178/165 PSA 10 GEM MINT | Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) | Japanese Pokémon Card 2023

The tangled vine Pokémon — swinging through a sunlit woodland, certified at absolute perfection. This Tangela Art Rare (AR) 178/165 from the Japanese Scarlet & Violet expansion Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) has been professionally graded by PSA and awarded a GEM MINT 10 — the absolute highest grade achievable, certifying flawless centering, surface, edges, and corners.

Illustrated by Oswaldo KATO, this full-art holofoil is one of the most joyfully playful ARs in the entire Pokémon Card 151 set — two Tangela swinging freely through a golden, sun-dappled woodland in a light, airy comic-style composition with beautifully rendered trees, wildflowers, and soft natural light. The bright, warm colour palette and expressive character movement give this card an immediate charm that stands out even in a set packed with iconic Gen I artwork.

A Grass-type Basic with 80 HP, featuring the thematically clever Wrap Technique attack — dealing 10 base damage that jumps to 70 whenever you play Erika's Invitation from your hand during the same turn — a Celadon City gym leader synergy built directly into the card that rewards thematic deck building.

Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) is one of the most celebrated Japanese sets of the Scarlet & Violet era — a nostalgic tribute to all 151 original Kanto Pokémon featuring stunning AR, SAR, and Gold card treatments, released in June 2023.

Why collectors love this card: Tangela is one of the most recognisable and endearing Kanto Pokémon — a ball of blue vines with two little red feet peeking out, beloved by fans who appreciate the quirkier side of Gen I design. Oswaldo KATO's woodland swinging illustration is genuinely delightful — playful, light-filled, and full of movement in a way that makes it one of the most charming ARs in the 151 set. The Erika's Invitation synergy adds a clever competitive dimension that Celadon City deck builders actively utilise. Combined with a PSA 10 GEM MINT grade — achieved by only a tiny fraction of submitted copies — this is one of the finest certified versions of this beloved 151 card available anywhere.
