Solosis - 118/086 - SV: Black Bolt (BLK)

Solosis #118/086 — Illustration Rare — Scarlet & Violet: Black Bolt (BLK)

The art is the story here. This Psychic-type Basic Pokémon card is illustrated by USGMEN , the same artist whose work on Shiny Mew from Paldean Fates became one of the most talked-about cards in the modern era. With Pokémon card collectors paying close attention to USGMEN's output, the community has been actively buying up their illustrations — including this Solosis.

• Card: Solosis — #118/086, Illustration Rare (Art Rare), holofoil
• Set: Scarlet & Violet — Black Bolt, released July 18, 2025, the final special set of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet TCG series, featuring Unova Pokémon themed around Pokémon Black.
• Set structure: No booster boxes were produced — packs are only available inside specialty products like Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles, making singles more supply-constrained than standard sets.
• Each Unova Pokémon gets an IR: Every Unova Pokémon in the set receives an Illustration Rare or Special Illustration Rare card.
• Pull rate: Illustration Rares fall roughly once every 6 packs.
• Market comps: Raw Near Mint copies have most recently sold around $25, with active market movement tracked across multiple platforms. TCGplayer current market sits at approximately $30.

The illustration carries the same pastoral, bubbly energy as USGMEN's beloved Mew artwork — the kind of card that earns a permanent binder spot. With Black Bolt's specialty-product-only distribution keeping raw supply tight, this Solosis Illustration Rare is the Unova collector's must-have USGMEN piece.
