Alolan Dugtrio #208

This Alolan Dugtrio from the Surging Sparks set stands out as an Illustration Rare and a highly collectible secret rare card, numbered 208/191. Its elevated rarity, stemming from both its full-art treatment and its position beyond the regular set numbering, makes it a notable pull for collectors. Illustration Rares are particularly valued for their expansive, borderless artwork that captures the Pokémon in a unique scene, making them a highlight of the Scarlet & Violet series.

As a Metal type Stage 1 Pokémon with 110 HP, this Alolan Dugtrio features the intriguing attack Trio-Cheehoo. This attack requires precise hand management, as it only deals damage if the player has exactly three cards in hand, presenting a strategic challenge for competitive play. The card's artwork, typical of an Illustration Rare, provides a vivid depiction of the "Mole Pokémon." The Pokédex entry further characterizes Dugtrio as "a team of DIGLETT triplets" known for "triggering huge earthquakes by burrowing 60 miles underground," adding a layer of lore to this distinctive card.
