Applin - 185/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade (TWM)

Applin is one of the Pokémon TCG's most charming Dragon-types, and its Illustration Rare from SV06: Scarlet & Violet—Twilight Masquerade (185/167) is the definitive version of this fan-favorite. Illustrated by Katsunori Sato, the full-card alternate art captures Applin's personality in vivid, scene-setting detail — a full holofoil finish makes it a genuine display piece, not just a pocket slot filler.

Twilight Masquerade, released May 24, 2024, is one of the most celebrated sets of the modern Scarlet & Violet era — built around the folklore of Kitakami and the masked Legendary Ogerpon. It carries 21 Illustration Rares total, each a full-card alternate art of a non-ex Pokémon, and they pull at roughly 1 in every 13 packs — putting this card firmly in the "hits-worthy" tier every time you open a pack. With Twilight Masquerade booster boxes now long out of wide retail circulation and trading well above MSRP on the secondary market, pulling singles like this one is increasingly the smart move.
