This 2023 Steelix Illustration Rare is a full-art foil Pokémon TCG card from the Scarlet & Violet **Paradox Rift** expansion. Illustrated by Nisimono, the card shows Steelix towering over a construction site, with workers and scaffolding in the background rendered in a vivid, holographic style. As a Stage 1 Metal-type, Steelix comes with 180 HP and two heavy-hitting attacks (Earthquake and Heavy Impact), making it both playable in battle and visually striking. The alternate-art illustration and secret-rare numbering (208/182) make this trading card especially sought after by collectors looking for unique and nostalgic Pokémon pieces.
