Tirtouga

# Tirtouga - Black Bolt Illustration Rare Tirtouga's Illustration Rare designation makes it a notable pull for collectors seeking alternative art treatments. This variant category appeals to players and enthusiasts who prioritize aesthetics over traditional rarity symbols, as the card features distinctive artwork that differs from standard releases. The holofoil treatment adds visual appeal that many collectors appreciate, though Illustration Rares occupy an interesting middle ground in collecting hierarchies. They're more accessible than chase cards like full-art or secret rares, yet distinctive enough to warrant keeping in collections. Tirtouga specifically attracts fossil Pokémon enthusiasts and those building comprehensive Black Bolt sets. The variant's appeal depends largely on personal preference for the illustration itself rather than inherent scarcity.
