Grotle 164/162

Grotle 164/162 comes from Temporal Forces, a Scarlet and Violet era expansion. This card is an Illustration Rare, a rarity that puts the focus on detailed artwork showing the Pokemon in a natural scene rather than the plain frame used for common printings.

Grotle is the middle stage in its evolution line, a Pokemon many collectors remember from the Sinnoh games, and it fits the warm illustration style these cards are known for. The collector number 164 sits above the set total of 162, which makes this a secret rare: a card numbered beyond the listed set size and added as a bonus chase card. Illustration Rares in this range belong to the extended chase that collectors work through after finishing the main set.

Collectors look for the Grotle Illustration Rare both for the artwork and as part of a complete Temporal Forces collection. Its illustration led design makes it a popular display card, and its secret rare placement gives set builders a further card to track down.
