Curatorial Commentary

“The card features a Horsea, a small dragon-like Pokémon, swimming in a watery environment. It has a light blue body with a curled tail and large eyes, and it appears to be releasing a dark ink-like substance. The background includes hints of green and blue, suggesting an underwater setting.”
