Ferrothorn - 149/086 - SV: White Flare (WHT) Pokemon
The Ferrothorn — 149/086 Illustration Rare from Scarlet & Violet: White Flare is one of the standout pulls from a generational set. White Flare is the final expansion of the Scarlet & Violet series and the first-ever dual release in English Pokémon TCG history — a direct spiritual successor to the beloved Pokémon Card 151, built around all 156 Unova Pokémon from the classic Black & White games. Every single Unova Pokémon in the set received an Art Rare or higher treatment, and Ferrothorn's Illustration Rare is among them.
Illustrated by the acclaimed Minahamu, this Full Art IR showcases Ferrothorn in a dramatic, painterly composition that stands apart from the standard Hasuno base print. As a Metal-type Stage 1 with 140 HP, the card packs two hard-hitting attacks — Power Whip, which scales damage with each Energy attached, and Metal Claw swinging for a solid 130 — making this one equally at home in a binder or a battle deck.

White Flare's status as the closing chapter of Scarlet & Violet — combined with its 151-style nostalgia design philosophy and the Unova frenzy surrounding it — gives every IR in the set long-term collector appeal. Ferrothorn's dedicated fanbase and Minahamu's sought-after illustration work make 149/086 one of the more coveted pulls in the checklist. If you're building an Unova master set or chasing high-quality Scarlet & Violet IR art, this one belongs in your collection.
