User:4iamking/Special illustration rare

Special illustration rare is a type of rarity in the Pokémon Trading Card Game outside of Asia, introduced in the Scarlet & Violet expansion. They are Full Art Secret cards that showcase Pokémon in their natural environments and offer a closer look at their unique personalities.

Special illustration rare cards are like illustration rare cards but instead feature an additional layer of glitter foil and either feature alternative artwork of chase Pokémon cards such as Pokémon V, VSTAR, VMAX or Pokémon ex, or of Supporter cards. Starting with the Scarlet & Violet expansion, special illustration rare cards feature a double gold star (Special Illustration Rare) for their rarity symbol.

Special Art Rare cards (Japanese: スペシャルアートレア Special Art Rare) introduced in the VSTAR Universe expansion can be seen as the cognate to this rarity in Asian language expansions, however this rarity does not provide a full overlap, as Special Art Rare cards from the Sword & Shield Series are officially designated as "Galarian Gallery ultra rare" cards and can be identified with a white star or GGU as their rarity symbol.[1] The Special Art Rare rarity denoted by SAR (SAR) rarity symbol.

Special illustration rare cards are similar to the Trainer Gallery cards introduced in the Brilliant Stars expansion (the Japanese VMAX Climax subset), bar the fact that they generally do not feature characters.
