Torkoal 172/167

Torkoal 172/167 is an Illustration Rare from Twilight Masquerade, part of the Scarlet and Violet era. Its number 172 runs above the set total of 167, marking it as a card from the special rarity tier that sits beyond the main numbered set.

Illustration Rare cards stand out for their artwork. Rather than the standard framed picture, they show the Pokemon within a full scene and carry the holographic treatment across the whole card face. Torkoal, the coal burning tortoise first seen in the Hoenn region, makes for warm and atmospheric subject matter in this storytelling style of illustration.

Collectors seek out Illustration Rares because they capture some of the most expressive art in the modern game. This Torkoal will suit anyone building a set of Twilight Masquerade illustration cards or following the older generation Pokemon as they appear in recent expansions.
