Pokémon Squirtle Illustration Rare 170/165 – Scarlet & Violet 151 – ACE 10 Graded Card

Up for sale is a Pokémon Squirtle Illustration Rare (170/165) from the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion, professionally graded ACE 10 (Gem Mint).

Numbered 170/165, this card sits beyond the standard set list, marking it as a special Illustration Rare pull. Illustration Rare cards are highly sought after due to their detailed full-art artwork, lower pull rates and strong collector demand within modern Pokémon releases.

Squirtle is one of the original Kanto starter Pokémon and remains a fan-favourite among Generation 1 collectors. As part of the Scarlet & Violet 151 expansion — dedicated entirely to the original Pokédex — this Illustration Rare carries strong nostalgic appeal and long-term demand.

The full-art Illustration Rare treatment enhances the character-focused scene, giving the card excellent display presence when preserved in a professional slab. High-grade starter Pokémon consistently hold strong appeal within graded collections.

An ACE 10 grade confirms Gem Mint condition, reflecting exceptional centring, sharp edges, clean corners and flawless surface quality.

Professionally graded in the UK by ACE Grading, the card is sealed in an official tamper-evident protective slab to preserve its pristine condition long-term. A premium addition for collectors building 151 master sets, starter evolution runs, or high-grade Illustration Rare portfolios.
