Latias ex - 239/191 - SV08: Surging Sparks (SSP)

Latias ex — 239/191 | Special Illustration Rare | SV08: Surging Sparks

This is the Special Illustration Rare (SIR) version of Latias ex from Surging Sparks (SV08), numbered 239/191 — a secret rare that sits beyond the set's standard print run. The SIR treatment delivers a breathtaking full-art, full-bleed illustration that sets it apart from the Double Rare and Full Art Ultra Rare variants of the same Pokémon.

• Card type: Psychic-type Basic with 210 HP and the Skyliner Ability — your Basic Pokémon in play have no Retreat Cost.
• Attack: Eon Blade hits for 200 damage for two Psychic and one Colorless energy.
• Market value: Raw copies in Lightly Played condition have recently sold for ~$159.99, per Sports Card Investor. The market on TCGplayer sits closer to $184+ in holofoil condition.
• Graded comps: PSA 9 slabs are actively trading across multiple eBay listings, making this a strong submission candidate with proven grade-market demand.

This SIR is one of three distinct Latias ex variations tracked in the 2024 Scarlet & Violet: Surging Sparks set — and the Special Illustration Rare is the chase version collectors are hunting. Latias is a beloved Legendary Pokémon with consistent long-term collector demand, and the SIR artwork elevates it into display-piece territory. Whether you're raw-filing a master set or submitting to PSA, this is the Latias ex worth owning.
