Collection: Illustration Rare TCG Singles

Illustration Rare (IR) Pokémon TCG singles are cards with extended, full-bleed artwork beyond the usual card frame, introduced in the Scarlet & Violet era. This collection covers the Illustration Rare cards we have in stock, checked and photographed individually rather than pulled from a stock image.

Looking for the rarer step up? See our Special Illustration Rare collection, or browse our wider Pokémon singles range. Our Pokémon Cards Gold Coast page covers the full category, and if you're selling a collection, see Sell Pokémon Cards Gold Coast.

What is an Illustration Rare card?

Illustration Rare (IR) is a Pokémon TCG rarity with extended artwork that runs past the card's normal frame, introduced in recent Scarlet & Violet era sets.

Illustration Rare vs Special Illustration Rare?

Special Illustration Rare (SIR) cards use a similar extended-art treatment but sit at a higher rarity tier, typically with higher value.

Can I buy these in Carrara or only online?

Both. Everything in this collection is physically held at our Carrara store on the Gold Coast, so you can browse online or come look through the binders in person.
