Wattrel #178

Wattrel 178/167 is a notable Secret Rare card from the Twilight Masquerade set, highly regarded by collectors. Its status as an Illustration Rare signifies it features a distinctive, full-card artwork. The card's secret rare numbering, extending beyond the set's standard count, indicates a lower pull rate from booster packs, which inherently enhances its overall desirability. Further contributing to its appeal is the artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, an illustrator whose work is consistently recognized for its quality and distinctive style within the Pokémon TCG.

This particular Wattrel card captures the 'Storm Petrel Pokémon' in a striking depiction, likely emphasizing its natural habitat or electrical abilities. The artwork complements its Pokédex description, which notes that electricity is produced from its wings and that it dives into the ocean to electrocute prey. The card's flavor text adds an interesting detail about its nests on coastal cliffs having a "strange, crackling texture" and being a "popular delicacy." As a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 60 HP, its Thunder Shock attack offers a strategic chance to Paralyze an opponent's Active Pokémon, aligning with its electric nature.
