    The BREAKthrough expansion, released in November 2015, was part of the XY series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set is notable for introducing the BREAK evolution mechanic, though this specific Floette card does not feature it. Floette (and its pre-evolution Flabébé) were introduced in the Generation VI games Pokémon X and Y, set in the Kalos region, heavily influenced by France. The lore of Floette centers around its deep connection with flowers, embodying themes of nature and symbiotic relationships within the Pokémon world.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    1

    Floette made its debut in the Pokémon X and Y video games, representing the second stage in a three-stage evolutionary line (Flabébé, Floette, Florges).

    2

    Floette's design is inspired by the floret, a small flower, and possibly by fairies or garden spirits.

    MATERIAL & CONDITION

    Surface

    The card exhibits a glossy finish characteristic of modern Pokémon cards. As a reverse holo, the card's surface outside the art box should show a rainbow-like sheen, which is visible in the provided image. The artwork itself appears to be a standard non-foil print within the main illustration window.

    Weight & Feel

    Typical card stock weight, approximately 0.05 oz (1.5g). Feels light and flexible, consistent with regular trading card material.

    Condition

    The card appears to be in at least 'Near Mint' condition from the front, with good centering and no immediately visible creasing or severe edge wear. The corners look relatively sharp. However, a full assessment would require inspecting the back surface for any imperfections and examining the edges and corners closely under magnification.
