    DESCRIPTION

    This is a holographic rare Pokémon trading card featuring the Pokémon Goodra from the XY—Furious Fists expansion. The artwork by Shin Graphics depicts Goodra, a Stage 2 Dragon-type Pokémon with 140 HP, with swirling energy around it. The card includes the 'Sticky Hold' ability, preventing players from attaching Pokémon Tool cards, and the 'Dragon Pulse' attack, which deals 130 damage but requires discarding the top card of the deck. This is an English language card, identified by the set number 77/111 and the set symbol visible.

    CULTURAL ECHOES

    Where This Object Echoes

    Japanese Mythology / FolkloreAncient to Modern

    Goodra's design, as a 'soft' dragon, contrasts with more traditional fierce dragons but aligns with softer, benevolent mythical serpents or creatures often found in Asian folklore, which can have protective or gentle associations.

    Ritual & Ceremonial Use

    • Pokémon TCG play and collection are often ritualized; players engage in pack opening 'rituals' seeking rare cards, and competitive play involves specific deck-building and battling 'rituals.'
    • Gift-giving, particularly among children and new collectors, where a desirable card like a holographic rare can represent a significant token.

    Meaning Through Time

    1990s-2000s

    Early Pokémon cards were primarily a component of a game, with collecting value secondary to playability in most cases.

    2010s-Present

    With increasing nostalgia and online marketplaces, Pokémon cards, including older holographic rares like this Goodra, have seen a significant shift towards being valued as standalone collectibles and assets, sometimes transcending their original game utility.

    The XY—Furious Fists expansion was released by Pokémon International in August 2014, marking the third main expansion of the XY Series. This set introduced Mega Evolution Pokémon to the TCG in a significant way, though this specific Goodra is not a Mega Evolution. Goodra itself is a Dragon-type Pokémon originally introduced in the Generation VI games, Pokémon X and Y, and is known for its gooey, friendly nature, which is referenced in the flavor text on the card. The 'sticky slime' mention reflects its Pokedex entry and in-game characteristics.

    MATERIAL & CONDITION

    Surface

    The card has a glossy, holographic surface on the illustration area, indicating it's a Holo Rare variant. The non-holographic areas appear to be a standard matte card stock. The card lies flat, suggesting no major warping.

    Weight & Feel

    Typical for a standard Pokémon trading card, it would feel lightweight yet sturdy, characteristic of coated paper stock.

    Condition

    The card appears to be in reasonably good condition from the front, with no obvious major creases, tears, or significant edge wear visible in the image. Centering looks decent, though a clearer view of the back would be needed for a precise assessment. Minor surface scratching or print lines in the holographic area are possible but not discernible from this image.
