Kieran #174

Kieran (174/131) from the *Scarlet & Violet—Prismatic Evolutions* set is a particularly notable card, primarily due to its designation as a Special Illustration Rare and its status as a secret card. Its card number, exceeding the standard set count, immediately signals its increased rarity and a typically lower pull rate, making it a desirable find for collectors.

As a Special Illustration Rare, this Kieran card features unique, expansive artwork that covers the entire card frame, distinguishing it from standard printings. This artistic treatment often highlights the character or Pokémon in a distinctive, narrative style, adding significant visual appeal. From a gameplay perspective, Kieran functions as a Supporter card offering strategic versatility: players can choose to either switch their Active Pokémon with a Benched Pokémon, or have their Pokémon deal an additional 30 damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon ex and V during that turn. This dual utility makes Kieran a flexible option for various deck strategies, further contributing to its appeal upon its release in January 2025.
