The Typhlosion 28/165 in context
Why collectors care
Typhlosion is a high-demand Johto starter and one of the strongest character anchors in the Expedition holo run. It pairs naturally with Feraligatr and Meganium for a complete starter trio.
How to identify it
Expedition Base Set 28/165, Typhlosion. Match the regular holo artwork and 28/165 number; do not substitute the reverse-holo version or the Typhlosion from Neo Genesis.
Common mistakes
Typhlosion has several sought-after vintage cards, so set confusion is common. Confirm the Expedition layout, number and regular foil treatment together.
Grade considerations
The dark fire foil shows scratches and print lines readily. Inspect centering, border silvering, corner wear and the e-Reader strip before calling a raw copy near mint.
