Applin Illustration Rare comes from the 2024 Scarlet & Violet – Twilight Masquerade expansion of the Pokémon TCG, a festival-themed set full of mystical artwork. This full-art trading card features Applin peeking out of ripe red apples in a lush orchard under a twilight sky, illustrated by Katsunori Sato in his signature gentle, storybook style. The card’s Illustration Rare status and holofoil pattern (numbered 185/167) make it especially collectible – it’s the first alternate-art (Illustration Rare) printing of Applin. With its charming artwork and playable “Find a Friend” search ability, this Pokémon TCG card appeals both to Nintendo nostalgia collectors and players looking for unique deck pieces.
