Piplup is an Illustration Rare from Phantasmal Flames, an English set in the Scarlet and Violet era. Illustration Rares (often shortened to IR) are loved for their expanded artwork, which places the Pokemon within a full scene rather than a plain frame and gives each card a real sense of personality.

The number 098/094 sits above the main set total of 094, which is typical for Illustration Rares as they occupy the bonus slots beyond the base numbering. As the Sinnoh starter, Piplup carries plenty of nostalgia, and the IR treatment is a natural fit for such a recognisable and endearing Pokemon. Collectors often chase these cards to capture the most charming artwork in the set.

At Monster Mart this is offered as a single card in mint condition, ready for your binder or display.
