Terapagos ex - 169/131 - SV: Prismatic Evolutions (PRE) PSA 9

Terapagos ex — 169/131 Special Illustration Rare — Scarlet & Violet: Prismatic Evolutions — PSA 9 Mint

Terapagos ex (Pokédex #1024) lands here as a Special Illustration Rare numbered 169/131 — a secret-rare overprint from one of the most sought-after modern Pokémon TCG sets ever released. The pull rate on this SIR sits at approximately 1 in 1,441 packs (0.1%) , making raw copies genuinely scarce. Artwork by mashu renders Terapagos in a crystalline, prismatic shell surrounded by an abstract swirl of jewel tones — a fitting centerpiece for a slab.

Prismatic Evolutions has become one of the most sought-after modern Pokémon TCG sets, and since its January 2025 release it has captured the hearts and wallets of collectors worldwide. The set contains 32 Special Illustration Rares, 15 Tera Pokémon ex, and five hyper rare gold-etched cards — among the highest rarity density of any Scarlet & Violet expansion. Terapagos ex exists in three distinct variations across the set: Double Rare, Special Illustration Rare (this card), and Hyper Rare.

• Set: Scarlet & Violet — Prismatic Evolutions (PRE), released January 17, 2025
• Card number / rarity: 169/131 — Special Illustration Rare (SIR)
• Grade: PSA 9 Mint — authenticated slab, no guesswork on condition
• Raw NM comp: recent sales tracking shows raw NM copies last selling around $27–$28 — the PSA 9 slab commands a meaningful premium over ungraded
• Attacks: Unified Beatdown (scales with Benched Pokémon) & Crown Opal (180 damage with conditional protection)

The market correction of late 2025 and early 2026 has created an attractive entry point for collectors, and as supply continues to be absorbed into long-term holdings, the outlook for gradual appreciation remains positive. A PSA 9 slab of a sub-1% pull rate SIR from the defining collector's set of 2025 is the kind of piece that fills the gap in a Prismatic Evolutions registry set — get it before the next collector does.
