Background
Japanese Venusaur ex 200/165 is a Special Art Rare from SV2a Pokemon Card 151, dated 15 June 2023. The over-number past 165 marks the secret-art slot in a set built to restage the original Kanto 151 with current finishes.
The full scene places Venusaur ex in a misted forest among plants, fitting the grass-type legend without a studio portrait. Lined with the full-art Bulbasaur and Ivysaur from the same expansion, the three prints read as one strip.
Collectors talk about that evolutionary triptych as much as the single pull. Venusaur has long sat behind Charizard and Blastoise in casual chase talk; this SAR gives the line wall space inside 151.
