How to Read an Empoleon V Card
The type icon on the listed print is Water, the HP is 210, and the stage is Basic; the weakness box prints Lightning ×2. These are that card’s own values and are not a rule for other Empoleon prints.
The rarity of 074/070 is SR (Super Rare); the 073/070 print of the same card also shows SR. Our Japanese Pokemon card rarities guide explains how the tiers relate. The printed number 074 sits above the 070 shown after the slash.
The regulation mark is E. The official regulation page lists H, I and J as the marks in the current Standard regulation, so an E-mark card is not in the current Standard regulation. The mark says nothing about condition or grade.
