Skarmory 209/191

Skarmory 209/191 is an Illustration Rare from Surging Sparks, part of the Scarlet and Violet era. Illustration Rares, usually written as IR, sit in the special tier above the regular rarities and present the Pokemon in a full illustrated scene rather than a cropped portrait. The 209/191 number runs past the base set total of 191, which places this card among the extra art cards added after the main numbered run.

Skarmory has long been a collector favourite thanks to its armoured steel bird design, and the Illustration Rare treatment gives the artist room to show it in motion against a detailed backdrop. The Surging Sparks IR line is sought after for its consistently expressive art direction, and this Skarmory fits neatly into a complete IR set or a themed display. Offered here as an English print held to Mint condition, it suits both set builders and anyone who appreciates the artistry of the modern Illustration Rare format.
