Japanese Poliwhirl Pokemon cards (ニョロゾ) appear in sets from several eras, and the print we offer as a PSA 10 is number 061/165 from Enhanced Expansion Pack “Pokemon Card 151” (SV2a), listed as the Master Ball Mirror version.
This guide sets out what the official Japanese card database prints for that card — illustrator, HP, attack text and set — then the other Poliwhirl prints the database lists, how to read the card, and where to buy.
Our Poliwhirl listing is the SV2a 061/165 Master Ball Mirror print, offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥15,707 (~$102) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. The official database credits the illustration to Kurata So and shows a Stage 1 Water Pokemon with 90 HP; the Master Ball pattern comes from our listing name, not from the database.
USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
Poliwhirl Prints We’ve Verified: At a Glance
The official database files these cards under the name ニョロゾ. The table shows the listed print first, then a selection of other Poliwhirl prints as the database gives them (set code, number, illustrator).
| Number | Set code | Rarity (database icon) | Illustrator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 061/165 | SV2a | C | Kurata So |
| 176/165 | SV2a | AR | Gemi |
| 024/101 | SV6 | C | OKACHEKE |
| 012/067 | S10D | C | Scav |
| 022/095 | SM10 | C | Yukiko Baba |
| 010/060 | SM1M | U | Atsuko Nishida |
| 024/087 | CP6 | C | Ken Sugimori |
| 016/096 | XY3 | C | Kanako Eo |
| 019/070 | L1-Bss | U | Naoyo Kimura |
The table includes an AR entry, 176/165, from the same SV2a set as our listed print, and two Uncommon entries (SM1M and L1-Bss). The set codes follow the database’s own product codes; our Japanese Pokemon card sets in order guide places most of them in sequence.
The Print We List: Pokemon Card 151, 061/165
The database entry for SV2a 061/165 reads ニョロゾ, a Stage 1 Pokemon with 90 HP and Water type, illustrated by Kurata So. It has two attacks. スプラッシュ (rendering: “Splash”) does 20 damage. かえるとび (rendering: “Frog Hop”) does 30 damage and asks for a coin flip: on heads it does 60 more damage.
Our listing identifies this copy as the Master Ball Mirror print. The database keeps one entry per card number and does not record foil pattern, so it confirms the number, rarity icon, illustrator and card text but does not itself confirm the Master Ball pattern — that attribute is the listing’s. The database data does not show a regulation mark for this card. The official regulation page lists H, I and J as the marks Standard allows.
This print is offered as a PSA 10 back order at ¥15,707 (~$102) — sourced to order; the product page shows the current terms. See our PSA 10 back order guide for how that process works.
Poliwhirl the Pokemon: Type, Line and Number
The database gives Poliwhirl as National No.061 with the category line おたまポケモン. The evolution field on the listed card shows the line ニョロモ (Poliwag) → ニョロゾ → ニョロボン (Poliwrath) or ニョロトノ (Politoed). The listed card is a Stage 1, so its evolution box points back to ニョロモ, and the database prints Water type on it.
The database prints both final forms in the evolution field. If you are matching a copy in your own collection, the card name (ニョロゾ), the number 061/165 and the set code SV2a are the three details to compare with the database entry.
Other Poliwhirl Prints in the Database
The database lists many more Poliwhirl cards. In the same set as our listed print, SV2a 176/165 is an AR credited to Gemi. Other entries include SV6 024/101 (OKACHEKE), S10D 012/067 (Scav), SM10 022/095 (Yukiko Baba) and CP6 024/087 (Ken Sugimori).
The Uncommon entries are SM1M 010/060 by Atsuko Nishida and L1-Bss 019/070 by Naoyo Kimura; XY3 016/096 is credited to Kanako Eo. Only the SV2a 061/165 print is one we offer as a PSA 10; the others are listed here to help you identify a card you already hold. English attack names in this guide are our renderings of the Japanese card text, not official English names, so match a copy by its printed Japanese text, number and set code.
How to Read a Japanese Poliwhirl Card
Start with the number: 061/165 means card 61 in a set printed with 165 numbered cards, and the set code (SV2a) ties it to the product. The rarity as shown by the official database icon is Common for the listed print and AR for 176/165; our rarities guide explains the lettered tiers. Then read the HP, the type, the attack text and the illustrator credit printed on the card. The how to read Japanese Pokemon cards guide walks through the full layout, and the condition guide covers what PSA 10 means for a card like this.
A Master Ball Mirror copy adds a holo pattern to the same card face. That pattern is a print variant named on the listing; when you compare a copy with the database entry, expect the text, number and artwork to match the standard card.
PSA 10 designates Gem Mint condition per PSA’s published grading standards; our PSA 10 meaning guide sets out the scale, and the grading guide compares the services. The label describes the condition of the individual copy; it does not change what the database prints for the card.
