Snom — 168/162 Illustration Rare — SV05: Temporal Forces

Few Pokémon command collector loyalty the way Snom does. Snom #872 won fan-favorite polls for its entire generation, and this Temporal Forces Illustration Rare is the card the Snom community has been chasing since the set dropped. Numbered 168/162, it sits beyond the standard set count — the hallmark of a secret-tier pull — and carries the Illustration Rare designation with full-art treatment illustrated by N-DESIGN Inc., delivering a deeply stylized take on the Ice/Bug-type that flat commons simply can't touch.

  • Card: Snom — 168/162, Illustration Rare (IR)
  • Set: Scarlet & Violet — Temporal Forces (SV05), released March 22, 2024
  • Type / Stage: Water-type Basic Pokémon, evolves into Frosmoth
  • Illustrator: N-DESIGN Inc.
  • Market comps: Raw Near Mint copies move in the $7–$18 range depending on the platform; PSA 10 slabs have sold for ~$120

Temporal Forces is one of the most significant sets of the Scarlet & Violet era — it reintroduced ACE SPEC cards to the Pokémon TCG for the first time since the Black & White era, making it a landmark release that collectors return to. Snom's Illustration Rare is one of only 22 Illustration Rare Pokémon in the 218-card set, keeping supply tight relative to demand. Snom's devoted fan base and its status as a perennial fan-vote winner make this one of the most personality-driven IRs in the entire set — exactly the kind of card that belongs in a toploader, not a bulk pile.
