# Nessa (Japanese) #020 — sEK: Blastoise Starter Set VMAX

## Summary

Nessa is Hammerlock's Water-type Gym Leader in Galar, a model-turned-trainer whose confident, polished style made her a favourite among Sword and Shield fans. Here she stands on a seaside promenade in front of a red-and-white lighthouse, one hand on her hip and a Poke Ball raised. The Japanese Supporter came in the Blastoise Starter Set VMAX in December 2020, after English players saw her in Vivid Voltage, and as a common it is purely a Water deck's helper. A $0.99 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
