Ninetales 199/197

This is Ninetales (199/197) from Obsidian Flames, presented as an Illustration Rare. The Illustration Rare tier has become a highlight of modern Pokemon sets, giving each featured Pokemon a full scene artwork that extends across the card rather than sitting inside a standard frame.

The card number 199/197 sits above the set total of 197, which confirms this as a secret rare pulled from the numbering beyond the main checklist. Secret rares are printed on top of the base set, so they are scarcer and hold extra value for collectors working towards a complete run.

Ninetales has been a fan favourite since the earliest days of the franchise, and its Illustration Rare appearances are prized for their elegant artwork. This card is a fitting choice for anyone collecting Obsidian Flames, building a Ninetales lineup or chasing the Illustration Rare secret rares from this era.
