Excadrill 174/162

Excadrill 174/162 is an Illustration Rare from Temporal Forces, an English Scarlet and Violet era expansion. Illustration Rares carry card numbers that run past the printed set total, which is why this one sits at 174 against a set total of 162.

Illustration Rares, often shortened to IR, are a subset introduced in the Scarlet and Violet era that places the Pokemon in a full art scene with detailed background artwork. Rather than focusing on game text, these cards showcase the Pokemon in a setting drawn from its world, which has made them one of the most popular modern subsets among collectors who value artwork. Excadrill is rendered here in that full scene illustration style.

The Illustration Rare line from Temporal Forces is widely collected, and an artwork driven card like Excadrill appeals to those who build their collections around the look of the cards.
