Frogadier (ゲコガシラ) 87/083 — S4a Evolving Skies Japanese Shiny Alternate Art (Holographic (Holo))

Mint, ungraded Japanese Frogadier (ゲコガシラ) from the S4a (Evolving Skies) release — card number 087/083 (listed as 87/083). This is the alternate-art, holographic shiny variant illustrated by Susumu Maaya. The full-art background and foil texture are intact and bright; edges and corners appear clean in photos and the surface shows the diagonal rainbow holo pattern typical of the alternate AR prints.

Condition & grading: Card is ungraded and described as mint. Photos show no visible whitening on borders or surface scratches; sold as-is ungraded for collectors or players who prefer mint, undecorated Japanese printings.

Notable features: Japanese language alternate art (AR) holo with the rarer shiny coloration — a sought-after pull for both collectors and fans of alternate art aesthetics. Illustrated by Susumu Maaya, the card features detailed water-themed artwork and strong holo effect across the full art. Set designation S4a (Evolving Skies) and card code 087/083 are printed on the card.

Playability & value: While primarily collectible for its alternate art and shiny variant, this Frogadier can be used in decks that include its evolution lines; it carries typical play relevance for water-type strategies where legal. The card’s alternate art and shiny status increase its collector appeal over standard prints, making it desirable for collectors of Japanese alternate/AR cards or players seeking visually distinctive runs.

Additional notes: Card photos included for close inspection of surface, edges, and holo. Illustrator credit: Susumu Maaya. Language: Japanese. Set: S4a (Evolving Skies). Card number: 087/083 (AR). Mint, ungraded condition.
