Pidgeot EX 225/197

This is Pidgeot ex, card 225/197 from Obsidian Flames, the 2023 Scarlet and Violet era set. As an ex card, Pidgeot carries a strong presence on the play side, and ex cards remain among the most chased pulls in every modern release.

This version comes with the Special Illustration Rare treatment, which is one of the top tiers in the current rarity ladder. Special Illustration Rares present the Pokemon in a full art scene with an extended border and dynamic artwork, capturing it in a setting rather than a plain pose. These cards are highly collectable for their artwork alone.

The 225/197 numbering runs past the base set size of 197, confirming this card sits in the secret rare range at the end of Obsidian Flames. Pidgeot is a classic first generation favourite, and seeing it given the Special Illustration Rare spotlight makes this a standout display card for both Kanto fans and Scarlet and Violet era collectors.
