Character info
The character
Enhanced Hammer is an Item card from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, representing a tool trainers use to strip beneficial effects from an opponent's Pokémon during battle. It is not a character but a piece of battle equipment depicted in the game's world. The hammer motif reflects its disruptive, de-equipping function rather than any narrative role.
This card
This is the Hyper Rare full art printing of Enhanced Hammer from the Brilliant Illusions set, numbered 259/207, a secret rare beyond the set's standard numbering. The artwork by Eske Yoshinob presents an oversized, ornately decorated black and gold hammer with a starburst emblem set against a glittering golden background. The card is marked UR and carries a 2026 copyright line for Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK.
How it plays
As a Trainer-Item card, the printed effect reads: choose 1 Special Energy attached to an opponent's Pokémon and discard it. The card also carries an ability box stating that on your own turn you may play any number of Item cards.

How this card was graded
WinnTCG graded this card in hand, on the bench. The card was in our hands, and we sealed the case ourselves. We photographed it here under controlled light to show which card is in the case and where anything we marked sits on it.
If you are buying this slab: the grade is WinnTCG’s judgement of the card that was in front of us, and WinnTCG sealed this case. The photographs above are of that card. Compare them against what you can see through the case, because a case can be opened by anyone who has held it since.
