# Floatzel (Japanese) #024 — XY2: Wild Blaze

## Summary

Floatzel reached Japanese shelves in March 2014 with XY2: Wild Blaze, nearly two months before the English Flashfire set carried the same card in May. The artwork has the orange sea weasel mid-swim just under the waterline, ripples and bubbles trailing behind it against a blue pond. It is an uncommon, a mid-tier pull, and Sinnoh's Water-type has long been a favourite among fans of the region's starters' wider cast, which gives this Japanese copy modest but real collector appeal.
