The Ninetales 199/197 Illustration Rare from Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames (SV03) is one of the most visually coveted pulls in the modern Pokémon TCG era. Numbered beyond the set's 197-card base, this secret-tier Illustration Rare features artwork by Sie Nanahara that places Ninetales in a sunlit enchanted forest, its nine tails flowing gracefully against warm golden light filtering through the canopy — a painterly, full-art scene that collectors immediately gravitated toward as one of OBF's standout non-Charizard pulls.

Obsidian Flames debuted August 11, 2023 as the third Scarlet & Violet expansion and made history as the first English set to introduce type-shifted Tera Pokémon ex — headlined by the iconic Dark-type Charizard ex that took the hobby by storm. That chase-card spotlight drove enormous box openings and broad collector engagement, which helped surface the Illustration Rare subset as genuine keepers. The Ninetales IR was among the scene-based illustrations that rewarded the full-set collector over the secret-rare chaser.

  • Rarity: Illustration Rare · #199/197 · Holo finish
  • Type/Stage: Fire-type · Stage 1 · 120 HP · Evolves from Vulpix
  • Attacks: Will-o-Wisp (R) for 20; Nine-Tailed Dance (RR) — places 9 damage counters on any opponent's Pokémon
  • Artist: Sie Nanahara
  • Market value: Raw Near Mint copies have surged roughly 49% in the last 30 days, with recent sales landing around $40. PSA 9 copies trade around $80, and PSA 10 Gem Mint slabs are listed in the $190+ range. The card has appreciated over 200% since its 2023 release date.

Ninetales has a devoted collector base, and this IR's enchanted-forest aesthetic makes it a perpetual standout in binder pages alongside any mystical or Fire-type theme. With raw prices climbing and PSA 10 population still manageable, this is the window collectors look back on and wish they'd moved faster.
