Blitzle 195/182

This is Blitzle 195/182 from Paradox Rift, a Scarlet and Violet era set with a wide range of special art cards. Blitzle is the small striped Pokemon first seen in the Unova region, and it gets a charming spotlight here as one of the set's illustration features.

The Illustration Rare tag tells you this is one of the dedicated art cards, where the focus moves from battle stats to a full scene illustration showing the Pokemon in a natural setting. Illustration Rares have become some of the most collected cards in the modern era because of their detailed artwork and limited place within each set. The card number 195/182 sits beyond the main set total of 182, which marks it as a secret rare from the extended numbering used for these special cards.

For collectors building the Paradox Rift art run, or anyone who has a soft spot for Blitzle, this card is an approachable and characterful addition to the binder.
