Wigglytuff ex

Wigglytuff ex was released in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion, a special set designed to commemorate the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region. This set was created to appeal to both long-time fans who grew up with the original Generation I games and new players, featuring a chronological Pokedex ordering that highlights the iconic status of the early roster. The card itself, numbered 187/165, serves as a modern mechanical reimagining of a classic character, utilizing the 'ex' mechanic which grants the Pokémon higher HP and more powerful attacks in exchange for giving up two prize cards upon being knocked out.

The illustration for this Ultra Rare card was handled by artist Souichirou Gunjima, who utilized a clean, vibrant aesthetic that emphasizes the soft, rounded features characteristic of Wigglytuff. By placing the subject against a stylized, energetic background, Gunjima highlights the Pokémon’s playful yet formidable nature. The card was well-received by collectors for its nostalgic value and its functional utility in competitive gameplay during the early Scarlet & Violet era, standing as a representative piece of the modern era's focus on bridging legacy character appeal with contemporary design standards.
