Iron Valiant EX 249/182

This is Iron Valiant EX from Paradox Rift, a Special Illustration Rare. The number 249/182 sits above the set's main total of 182, marking it as a secret rare slotted in beyond the listed set number where the hardest cards to find are placed.

Iron Valiant is one of the future Paradox Pokemon, a theme that runs through Paradox Rift, so it fits the set perfectly. EX cards are powerful single Pokemon cards at the upper end of the rarities, and the Special Illustration Rare treatment goes a step further by setting the Pokemon within a full, story driven scene with artwork that spans the whole card and a textured holographic finish.

Special Illustration Rares are among the most chased cards in modern sets, and Iron Valiant's striking design makes this one a standout. It suits Paradox Pokemon collectors, Paradox Rift set builders, and fans of the artwork led rarities of the Scarlet and Violet era.
