What is the Team Rocket's Orbeetle 198/182 Illustration Rare?

Team Rocket's Orbeetle (198/182) is an Illustration Rare from the 2025 Destined Rivals expansion, a landmark set that reintroduced the iconic "Team Rocket's Pokémon" mechanic to the modern Scarlet & Violet era. Illustration Rares are coveted for their borderless, full-canvas designs that allow artists to expand upon a Pokémon's lore. In this stunning full-art piece, HYOGONOSUKE perfectly captures Orbeetle utilizing its immense psychic energy to observe its surroundings from miles away. Because modern full-art holofoil cards are incredibly susceptible to factory print lines, soft corners, and edge wear, securing this high-grade PSA 9 slab guarantees pristine physical protection and long-term investment preservation.
