# Empoleon (帝王拿波) (Chinese) #024 — CS5.5C (暗影夺辉)

## Summary

Empoleon arrived in mainland China in August 2024 with the CS5.5C set, a Simplified Chinese release that gives the Sinnoh Water starter a rare slot in the late Sword & Shield-era line. The card shows the emperor penguin lunging forward in deep blue and white against a pale icy backdrop, trident crest raised. As a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot, it suits collectors who want the Chinese edition without paying for a full-art.
