Tinkaton ex — Special Illustration Rare | 262/193 | SV02: Scarlet & Violet — Paldea Evolved

This is one of the most visually striking secret rares in the entire Scarlet & Violet era. Card 262/193 lands well beyond the base set count of 193, placing it firmly in the Special Illustration Rare (SIR) tier — the highest-prestige pull category in modern Pokémon TCG. Illustrated by Tika Matsuno, the full-art composition carries pastel-inspired, borderless artwork with a whimsical, richly detailed background that puts Tinkaton front and center, hammer in hand, in a dynamic and playful pose — part of a connected narrative that flows directly from the Tinkatuff card in the same set.

On-card, this Psychic-type Stage 2 ex packs 300 HP, Big Hammer (30× the cards in your hand) and Pulverizing Press (140 damage, unaffected by opponent's Active Pokémon effects) — genuinely usable stats wrapped in chase-card art. Paldea Evolved is widely regarded as one of the peak sets of the Scarlet & Violet era, earning critical acclaim for the quality of its Special Illustration Rares and home to some of the most collectible modern Pokémon cards in circulation.
