Great Tusk EX 246/198

Great Tusk EX 246/198 comes from the Scarlet & Violet Base Set, the English expansion that launched the Scarlet and Violet era of the Pokemon TCG. Great Tusk is one of the Ancient Paradox Pokemon introduced in the Paldea region, a prehistoric counterpart to Donphan, and this card captures it as a Special Illustration Rare. With the card number 246/198 sitting beyond the set's standard count, it also falls into the secret rare portion of the expansion, the hardest slots to pull.

EX cards returned in Scarlet and Violet as powerful Pokemon that give up two Prize cards when knocked out, so they carry both gameplay weight and collector appeal. Special Illustration Rares are the expansion's signature chase cards, featuring full extended artwork that fills the card face rather than the standard frame.

Collectors looking to complete the Scarlet & Violet Base Set, or building a Paradox Pokemon collection, will find this one of the more sought after pulls from the set. It is a strong pick for fans of Great Tusk and the Ancient Pokemon line.
