Toxicroak EX 232/198

This is Toxicroak ex from the Scarlet and Violet Base Set, the expansion that launched the Scarlet and Violet era. The set reintroduced the ex mechanic in lowercase form, marking a new generation of single prize and multi prize Pokemon for the modern game.

The card number 232/198 is significant: because the first number is higher than the set size of 198, this is a secret rare. Secret rares sit beyond the standard numbering and typically feature alternate or extended artwork, which is exactly why collectors chase them. As a Pokemon ex, Toxicroak ex carries higher hit points and stronger attacks than a regular Pokemon, with the trade off that it gives up extra prizes when knocked out. Combining the desirable ex designation with secret rare status makes this Toxicroak a rewarding find for anyone completing the Scarlet and Violet Base Set or building a collection around the era's chase cards.
