About Pitch Black Special Illustration Rares
What is a Special Illustration Rare?
Special Illustration Rares (SIRs) are secret rares, numbered above the 84-card main set. Each one shows a Pokémon ex or a Trainer in full, edge-to-edge artwork — usually a whole scene — with a textured foil finish. To spot one, check the rarity symbol at the bottom of the card: an SIR carries two gold stars, while a single gold star marks an Illustration Rare.
Pitch Black's SIRs in our range include Mega Darkrai ex 116/084, Morpeko ex 117/084 and Mega Chandelure ex 115/084. The Pokémon Company does not publish official pull rates, and SIRs are among the hardest cards in a booster to find, which is why most collectors buy the exact card as a single.
