Provenance

Where it came from

The Absol ex card, numbered 214/197, was released as part of the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames expansion in 2023. As a darkness-type Pokémon ex, it reflects the modern design philosophy of the TCG, which emphasizes high-HP 'ex' mechanics and full-art treatments. This specific card features a specialized 'ultra-rare' etching, intended to appeal to collectors who prioritize visual texture and artistic depth over standard gameplay variants.

The artwork for this specific card was crafted by illustrator takuyoa, who utilized the set's signature aesthetic to highlight Absol's sleek, ominous design. By placing the subject against a stylized, energetic background, the illustration aims to capture the Pokémon’s lore as a harbinger of disaster. Since its debut, the card has been recognized for its distinct foil patterning, serving as a standout example of the meticulous print quality found in the later Scarlet & Violet era sets.
