Colress's Tenacity

Colress's Tenacity 087/064 is an ultra-rare illustration card featured in the Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable expansion, released in August 2024. The card highlights Colress, a recurring character known for his research into Pokémon potential and his complex moral alignment across several video game titles. This specific printing serves as an 'Illustration Rare,' a subset of cards that prioritize artistic interpretation over traditional competitive layouts, aiming to provide players and collectors with a glimpse into the character's focused, analytical demeanor during his research.

The artwork for this card was commissioned to capture the character's signature clinical intensity, emphasizing his background in the Plasma team and his devotion to scientific inquiry. By depicting Colress in a moment of intense study, the illustrator intended to bridge his history as a strategist with his visual identity in the modern Scarlet & Violet era. The card was well-received by the collecting community for its clean, high-contrast aesthetic, which distinguishes it from the more standard card designs found in the main Shrouded Fable set.
