Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does Reverse Holo mean for Mankey 107/198?
In the Scarlet & Violet Base Set expansion, a Reverse Holo variant is a premium parallel print. Unlike regular holos where only the central art glows, the Reverse Holo pattern blankets the entire face of the card—including the card borders, title block, and attack text—while keeping the primary illustration box non-foil.
Is Mankey 107/198 legal for competitive tournament play?
Yes. Mankey features the G Regulation Mark, making it completely legal under current Pokémon TCG Standard Rotation rules. It can be utilized in active tournament decks with a maximum limitation of four identical copies per deck list.
What exact card condition is this item graded under?
This card is stocked in unplayed Near Mint (NM) condition. Sourced directly from booster packs, it exhibits minimal to no surface abrasions, crisp unwhitened perimeter edges, sharp centering, and pristine rear blue backing geometry free of clouding or factory warping.
Can Mankey evolve directly into Annihilape?
No. Mankey must first evolve into Primeape according to standard evolution rules. Once your Primeape is in play, you can then evolve it into the Stage 2 Annihilape archetype during your subsequent turns.
Who is the official artist behind this card illustration?
The artwork and card layout for this SV1 print iteration were crafted by artist Toshinao Aoki, capturing the updated silver border design aesthetic featured throughout the modern Scarlet & Violet trading card game generation.
