Dondozo - 207/198 - SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set (SVI)
Dondozo — 207/198 Illustration Rare | SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set
Dondozo 207/198 is an Illustration Rare (IR) holofoil from SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set — the founding set of the entire Generation IX TCG era. Numbered beyond the 198-card base roster, it sits firmly in secret rare territory, and beginning with Scarlet & Violet, all Full Art cards were reclassified as secret rares, giving Illustration Rares added cachet that earlier-era full arts never carried.
- Card: Dondozo — #207/198 | Illustration Rare | Holofoil
- Set: SV01: Scarlet & Violet Base Set — the first English expansion of the Scarlet & Violet series, released March 31, 2023, and the debut of Generation IX Pokémon in the TCG
- Type / HP / Stage: Water / 160 HP / Basic
- Attacks: Release Rage (50× damage per Tatsugiri in discard) and Heavy Splash (120 damage) — a direct nod to Dondozo's iconic Tatsugiri partnership from the Paldea region
- Artist: AKIRA EGAWA — a standout full-art scene exclusive to the IR treatment
- Market comps: Raw NM copies trade in the $5–$8 range; PSA 8 slabs sell in the $10–$18 range, with PSA 9s regularly changing hands between $18–$30+ depending on centering
SV01 is the cornerstone of the modern Scarlet & Violet collecting era — the first set to feature grey card borders, updated set codes, and Paldean Pokémon. As the inaugural release, its Illustration Rares carry the same long-term significance that Base Set holo rares hold for vintage collectors. Dondozo's IR artwork is among the most charming pulls in the set, and with PSA-graded copies actively moving at multiples of raw price, this is a card equally at home raw in a binder or slabbed on a shelf.
