オーダイル (Feraligatr)

Feraligatr (Japanese: オーダイル, Ordile) is the final evolution of Totodile, the Water-type starter Pokémon from the Johto region introduced in Generation II. It is designed as a powerful, crocodilian predator and became one of the signature Johto starter evolutions, closely associated with the Gold, Silver, and Crystal era of Pokémon. The card art for this era is credited to Ken Sugimori, whose official creature illustrations defined the early Pokémon TCG aesthetic.

First released in Japan in the Neo Genesis set, known in Japanese as Gold, Silver, to a New World, on February 4, 2000. This card is Japanese No. 160, printed as a Rare Holo card in the Neo-era Japanese release.

• This card is a Japanese holographic print with card number No. 160 and is commonly associated with the Neo Genesis / Gold, Silver, to a New World era.
• Market references identify it as Rare Holo and note a release date of February 4, 2000.
• There is also a separate Japanese Feraligatr No. 160 from Neo Premium File 1, which can cause confusion for collectors because it shares the same Pokémon number but is not the same release.

Condition. Check the front holofoil for scratching, edge whitening, and corner wear; Japanese holo cards from this era often show silvering on edges, light surface scratching, and back-side whitening. Centering matters strongly for grading, and any print lines, dents, or holo scratches can significantly reduce value.

Storage. Store in a penny sleeve inside a rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, keep away from humidity and direct sunlight, and avoid repeated handling of the holo surface. For long-term preservation, use an archival binder sleeve or graded slab for high-grade copies.

Authenticity. Authentic Japanese cards from this era should have crisp print quality, clean holo patterning, and period-correct cardstock. Watch for fuzzy text, dull or incorrect holo shine, mismatched font spacing, and poor cut edges; compare against known authentic Japanese Neo-era cards, especially because the Neo Premium File version can be mistaken for the standard Neo Genesis print.
