What is a Super Illustration Rare (SIR)?
A Super Illustration Rare (SIR) is the highest rarity in modern Pokémon sets (Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet series). These cards feature ultra-detailed artwork covering the entire card surface, with scenic illustrations that bleed beyond classic borders.

How to get a SIR: open packs vs buy single?
In 2026, buying a SIR directly on Cardmarket is almost always more cost-effective than pulling one from packs. The average opening cost to target a specific SIR generally exceeds 3–5× the market price. The exception: if you simply enjoy opening packs, Prismatic Evolutions offers the best SIR density.
