Gardevoir EX 245/198

This is Gardevoir ex from the Scarlet and Violet Base Set, the Special Illustration Rare numbered 245/198. Because the collector number (245) is higher than the set size (198), this card sits in the secret rare range, printed beyond the main checklist. It comes from the first main set of the Scarlet and Violet era, which set the tone for the generation.

The ex mechanic marks a powerful Pokemon with raised HP and strong attacks, while the Special Illustration Rare treatment gives the card a full artwork scene with Gardevoir shown in a detailed setting rather than a standard frame. Gardevoir has a devoted following, and its Special Illustration Rare from the base set became one of the more sought after cards of the early era.

For collectors who favour Gardevoir or want a flagship card from the Scarlet and Violet Base Set, this Special Illustration Rare is a centrepiece.
