Pinsir 168/167

This is Pinsir 168/167 from Twilight Masquerade, an Illustration Rare from the Scarlet and Violet era. Pinsir is a classic Kanto Pokemon known for its large pincers, and seeing it featured as an Illustration Rare gives a familiar favourite a fresh, art focused presentation.

Illustration Rares set the Pokemon within a fuller illustrated scene rather than a standard card layout, allowing the artwork to take centre stage. They have become some of the most collected cards in modern sets, valued for their detail and character. The collector number 168 sits just above the set total of 167, which is the norm for Illustration Rares since they are printed beyond the main numbered run.

For collectors who chase Illustration Rares, fans of original Kanto Pokemon, or anyone building a Twilight Masquerade collection, this Pinsir is a recognisable and appealing card to track down.
