Kingambit 220/198 - Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames (Illustration Rare)

This is a Kingambit trading card from the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Obsidian Flames expansion set, released in 2023. This specific card is an 'Illustration Rare' (subset of Secret Rare), designated by the gold star rarity symbol and the number 220/198. The physical construction is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch cardstock with a distinctive full-art holographic foil finish that produces a vertical rainbow refraction across the entire surface. The artwork, illustrated by Shin Nagasawa, depicts Kingambit seated in a position of command surrounded by several Bisharp and Pawniard, utilizing a thematic military hierarchy aesthetic. The card features a silver border characteristic of the Scarlet & Violet era cards. In terms of condition, the card is being held directly by hand without a protective sleeve or top-loader, which is a risk factor for surface scratches or edge wear. Visible centering appears relatively balanced, though a slight bias toward the right border is observable. There are no immediate signs of creasing or corner blunting, but the glossy surface shows significant light reflecting, which can hide minor surface imperfections like 'silvering' on the edges common to modern holofoil cards.
