This is a raw Mantine Pokemon trading card from the Aquapolis set, released in 2000 by Nintendo/The Pokemon Company. Card number 74/105, this Basic Water-type Pokemon features classic early-2000s artwork by Yukiko Baba depicting the serene Kite Pokemon in its ocean habitat. The card displays Mantine's signature attack "Giant Wave," which prevents the opponent from attacking during their next turn-a strategic ability valued in competitive play. The illustration captures Mantine's graceful nature with beautiful underwater scenery, making it visually appealing to collectors. The card exhibits very good condition with moderate wear consistent with a vintage 2000-era single that has seen light play or storage. Minor edge and corner wear is visible, and the card shows typical aging from two decades of existence. Surface and centering are acceptable for the era. No major creases or stains are apparent, and the card remains structurally sound. Aquapolis Mantine cards are sought after by vintage Pokemon collectors building complete set collections and water-type specialists. Early-2000s Base Set era cards continue gaining collector interest as the Pokemon TCG market expands. This affordable vintage single appeals to nostalgic players and budget-conscious set builders looking for authentic period pieces.
