Collector note
With 32 Rare Holos and only 3 Rare Secret cards, Aquapolis offers both depth and a clear set hierarchy for collectors. Umbreon (H29) is the primary value outlier, while much of the set sits in a wider, more accessible range.
Visual identity
Aquapolis reads bright and character-first: vibrant color dominates, often tempered by pastel and soft accents, with occasional contrasting pops. The prevailing mood is playful and lighthearted, and the most common layouts are simple, balanced, and tightly focused—favoring clean staging over dense background detail, with select cards introducing more dynamic motion.
