Krookodile - 137/086 - SV: Black Bolt (BLK)
Krookodile – 137/086 Illustration Rare | Scarlet & Violet: Black Bolt (SV11B)
Black Bolt is part of the eleventh and final expansion of the Pokémon TCG's Scarlet & Violet era , and it's built entirely around Generation V and the full roster of Unova-region Pokémon. That makes this set a historic bookend — and Krookodile's Illustration Rare slot sits right at the heart of it.
- Card details: Darkness-type, 170 HP, Stage 2. Its Tighten Up attack costs [DC] for 60 damage and forces your opponent to discard 2 cards from their hand.
- Rarity: Illustration Rare, Holofoil finish — numbered 137/086, placing it firmly in the coveted over-number secret rare section of the set.
- Set significance: Every single Pokémon card introduced in this expansion has a secret rare variant of AR (Art Rare) or better — a guarantee that has driven collector demand across the entire checklist.
- Foil heritage: Tinsel Holofoil cards are reintroduced with the release of these sets , bringing back a beloved texture that longtime fans recognize instantly.
- Market value: This Illustration Rare in Near Mint condition last sold for $39.33 , with active PSA-graded copies trading on eBay as well.
- Variations tracked: This card is 1 of 5 Krookodile variations in the 2025 Scarlet & Violet: Black Bolt set, including Base, Master Ball Reverse Holo, Poké Ball Reverse Holo, and Reverse Holo — making the Illustration Rare the crown jewel of the Krookodile run.
As the final expansion of the Scarlet & Violet era , Black Bolt carries the kind of long-term collector weight that set-closing releases always command. The Krookodile Illustration Rare — a Darkness-type fan favorite rendered in full scenic art with tinsel holo — is exactly the card that completes a Unova master set or anchors a Krookodile PC build.
