Hulbury Gym Leader Nessa almost immediately became among the most popular of Galar’s Gym Leaders following the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield, the main-series video games of Pokémon’s eighth generation. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that the Pokémon TCG card depicting Nessa ended up being among the biggest pulls of Amazing Volt Tackle [S4].

About Nessa (Amazing Volt Tackle [S4] 111/100)

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. This Super Rare (SR) card has a Full Art illustration depicting a female character. It was always inevitable that this would be a greatly coveted card. This aspect is further played up by the fact that Nessa is wearing a midriff-baring top as well as, arguably, the hand gesture she’s making as well as her side glance.

There’s also a reference to the in-game content. Visible on Nessa’s top and shorts is the logo of Hulbury Gym, alluding to the Water-type specialist’s status as the Hulbury Gym Leader. Additionally, the element of representation comes into play as well. Since Nessa is one of the relatively few major Pokémon characters who is black, many black Pokémon fans have taken to her, thus further driving up the character’s and therefore this card’s popularity.
