Deerling 165/162

Deerling, numbered 165/162, is an Illustration Rare from the Temporal Forces set in the Scarlet and Violet era. Because the card number 165 runs beyond the main set total of 162, this Deerling falls into the secret numbering used for the set's special cards.

Illustration Rares move away from the standard layout, placing the Pokemon in a full scene drawn by a featured artist, with the artwork carried across the whole card. Deerling, the small seasonal Pokemon whose appearance shifts with the time of year, is a natural fit for that detailed, art led style, and cards like this have become a popular reason to chase modern sets.

For collectors building a Temporal Forces master set or collecting the set's Illustration Rares, this Deerling is a pleasant addition. It pairs naturally with its evolution Sawsbuck and suits anyone drawn to the art focused cards of the era.
