Collector’s notes

Ampharos H1 (Aquapolis)
Ampharos stands upright in a grassy field at dusk, smiling with its red tail orb glowing, while the e-Card sparkle holo pattern scatters light across the whole scene like falling stars. Art by Shin-ichi Yoshida keeps it gentle and simple. As a Rare Holo from Aquapolis, part of the late e-Card era with its textured borders, it draws fans of the Light Pokémon and holo collectors alike.
Ampharos ex 89/97 (Dragon)
Ampharos ex shows the Light Pokémon in clean, glossy CG, turned in profile with its glowing tail orb set against a sparkling holo background that bursts with starry flecks. The full-card shimmer and simple composition give it that classic EX era look. Collectors chase it for Ampharos's loyal fan base and the appeal of early Rare Holo EX cards from Dragon, art by Ryo Ueda.
Ampharos 2/165 (Expedition Base Set)
Ampharos stretches across a dark, starry holo field speckled with red cosmic patches, its glowing tail orb and striped ears catching the light against the sparkle. Art by Atsuko Nishida gives it a soft, friendly look, and Expedition's cosmos-style holo makes it read like a night sky. Rare Holo cards from the e-Card era are hard to find clean, and this one draws fans of the series' distinct design.
