Heracross - 194/193 - SV02: Paldea Evolved (PAL)
Heracross has always been a fan-favorite, and its Illustration Rare from Scarlet & Violet — Paldea Evolved (SV02) makes that fandom impossible to ignore. Numbered 194/193, this card sits beyond the set's print limit — the hallmark of a secret rare — with artwork by Kurata So rendered in the sweeping, scene-forward style that defines the Scarlet & Violet era's most coveted pulls.
Paldea Evolved is the second expansion of the Scarlet & Violet series, home to 36 Illustration Rares spread across a 279-card set. Heracross lands among them as an A-Tier chase card — ranked in the top 14 of 455 master-set slots by market trackers, with demand running well above its rarity tier. This is the only variant Heracross received at this treatment in the set: no reverse holo, no alternate print, just this one holofoil copy to chase.
Recent sales data tells the story. Raw Near Mint copies have climbed sharply — up over 36% in the last 30 days, with recent sales landing around $35–$42. Graded copies command real premiums: PSA 9s trade around $40 and PSA 10s have reached $255. With Paldea Evolved now out of print, supply only tightens as collectors chase master sets and Heracross fans hunt this card down.
