    $27.50

    Ungraded

    This full art Thundurus fills the card with a smooth CG render by 5ban Graphics, the Legendary Pokémon scowling with arms crossed as its spiked purple tail loops around it against a crackling yellow sky of lightning.

    Scolipede fills the frame in side profile, its segmented crimson body arched over a painterly backdrop of teal sky and ochre, cliff-like forms. The loose, brushy style, art by kawayoo, gives the giant centipede real weight and texture. It's a Rare from Emerging Powers in the early Black & White era, and fans of Unova's bug lineup like it for that bold, textured painting.
