The Slowpoke 204/198 Illustration Rare is one of the most beloved pulls from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Base Set (SVI) — and it's easy to see why collectors keep hunting it down. Numbered beyond the set's official 198-card count, this holofoil card lands in the secret rare tier, illustrated by Toshinao Aoki with full-art, scene-style artwork that stretches edge to edge and gives Slowpoke the painterly, atmospheric treatment the Illustration Rare format was built for.

  • Rarity: Illustration Rare (IR) — card #204/198, printed beyond the base set total
  • Illustrator: Toshinao Aoki — exclusive to this IR print; the standard Slowpoke 042/198 carries different artwork entirely
  • Set: SV01 Scarlet & Violet Base Set — the first expansion of the Generation IX era, launched March 31, 2023, introducing the Paldea region, grey card borders, and the return of Pokémon ex
  • Condition: Near Mint (NM)

The SVI Illustration Rares are among the most competitive pulls in the entire Scarlet & Violet series, and the Slowpoke IR has held a strong aftermarket. Raw NM copies trade actively on eBay in the $20–$40 range, with graded examples — PSA 9s and 10s — commanding a meaningful premium. The card's wholesome, laid-back Slowpoke energy has made it a fan-favorite chase in the set, with buyers repeatedly noting the artwork looks even better in hand than in photos.

For collectors building a master SVI set or chasing every Illustration Rare in the Scarlet & Violet era, this is a must-have from the set that started it all. Near Mint, unplayed, and ready for your binder or slab submission.
