Mantyke 189/182

Mantyke is an Illustration Rare from Paradox Rift, an English Scarlet and Violet era set. The 189/182 number runs past the set's base count of 182, which is how Illustration Rares are listed: as cards that sit beyond the numbered main set.

Illustration Rares are built around their artwork. Instead of a plain battle stance, these cards show the Pokemon within a wider scene, giving the illustrator space to capture Mantyke in a more characterful setting. That expanded art style is the main reason collectors seek out the tier, valuing these cards for their detail and presentation.

Mantyke is a smaller, less commonly featured Pokemon, which can make its Illustration Rare a pleasant find for set builders working through Paradox Rift. Whether you collect by set or focus on the art rare line, this card offers the considered illustration work that defines the category.
