Ivysaur - 167/165 - SV: Scarlet & Violet 151 (MEW)

Ivysaur — 167/165 Illustration Rare | Scarlet & Violet—151 (MEW)

This is the Ivysaur Illustration Rare — card 167/165 from the landmark Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—151 set, the first expansion in the game's history to bring all 151 original Kanto Pokémon together under one roof. A secret rare by number, it carries the coveted Illustration Rare designation — the premium art tier that commands the strongest collector demand in the modern Scarlet & Violet era.

Like the other complete Illustration Rare evolution lines in Scarlet & Violet, a single artist carries the Pokémon through the story of its evolution — and artist Yoriyuki Ikegami's Ivysaur IR takes the Pokémon to a tranquil pond, where it marvels at its own reflection now that it has evolved. The line culminates with Venusaur in a forest bursting with color — making this the essential middle chapter of one of the set's most beloved three-card narrative sequences.

This set is the first ever to unite the original 151 Pokémon , and it contains 16 Illustration Rares — each one a pull-worthy chase card in its own right. There's even a low probability to find the entire Bulbasaur evolutionary line as secret cards in the same booster pack — a phenomenon fans call "demigod packs." The Ivysaur IR is a cornerstone of that chase. Whether you're hunting the full Bulbasaur-line trifecta or simply want one of the most visually striking Grass-type cards in the modern era, this is the one to own.
