Skarmory - 209/191 - SV08: Surging Sparks (SSP)

The Skarmory 209/191 Illustration Rare from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks (SV08) is one of the most visually striking Metal-type singles from the set. Numbered beyond the 191-card base set count, this Illustration Rare (IR) is a super-rare pull featuring full, borderless artwork by illustrator Takumi Wada — a foil holo showcase that goes well beyond standard rare treatment.

• Set: SV08: Surging Sparks — Scarlet & Violet's eighth expansion, released November 8, 2024, and widely regarded as the strongest standard Scarlet & Violet set of 2024
• Rarity: Illustration Rare — a beyond-booster-count, full-art holo format that commands dedicated collector demand
• Card: Basic Metal-type, 110 HP, Steel Wing attack; illustrated by Takumi Wada
• Market value: Raw NM copies selling in the $11–$15 range on eBay and TCGplayer; PSA 10 slabs actively listed and traded

Surging Sparks boasts over 50 Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations, making the IR slot genuinely scarce relative to pack volume. Skarmory's Gen II Steel/Flying identity gives it cross-generational collector appeal, and Wada's panoramic artwork elevates it far above a bulk pull. With the set cemented as a top-tier 2024 release and raw NM copies still accessible at under $15, this is the window to grab one before graded copies absorb available supply.
