Iron Thorns 098

Iron Thorns 098 is a Scarlet and Violet Promo, an English promotional card released outside the standard expansion sets. Promo cards are distributed through events, collection boxes and special releases, so they often sit apart from the main set numbering and appeal to collectors who like to track every release in the era.

Iron Thorns is one of the Paradox Pokemon introduced in the Scarlet and Violet games, a mechanical counterpart drawn from the same world as several other Future forms. The promo presentation gives it its own distinct look compared with set printings, which is part of the draw for people who collect promos specifically.

For a collector building a run of Scarlet and Violet promos, or anyone fond of the Paradox Pokemon, this is a tidy addition. As a promo it tends to be a little harder to pin down than a regular set card, which adds to its interest in a focused collection.
