Phanpy 205/191

This is Phanpy, card number 205/191, an Illustration Rare from Surging Sparks. Phanpy is a long standing Pokemon from the Johto region, and giving such an early generation favourite the full Illustration Rare treatment is something collectors appreciate.

Illustration Rares are among the most chased cards in current sets. The number 205 sits past the main set size of 191, which places this card in the special art section of the expansion. Rather than the standard card layout, Illustration Rares present the Pokemon in a detailed, full art scene that puts the artwork first. That focus on illustration over play stats is exactly why these cards have become so popular.

For anyone working through the Surging Sparks special art cards, or who has a fondness for Phanpy, this Illustration Rare delivers a charming scene featuring a classic Pokemon. It makes a tidy display piece and a worthwhile target for set completion.
