About This Card

AZ's Tranquility is the Special Illustration Rare Supporter from Chaos Rising, and it is one of the most emotionally resonant cards in the set. Numbered 120/086, it sits deep in the Secret Rare portion of the checklist — a position that reflects both its rarity tier and the elevated pull difficulty that makes pristine raw copies genuinely hard to come by. The card draws from the lore of AZ, the towering, immortal king of the Kalos region first introduced in Pokémon X & Y, whose tragic story of loss, sacrifice, and devotion to his beloved Floette remains one of the most celebrated narratives in the entire Pokémon franchise.

The SIR treatment replaces the standard color gradient background found on regular Full Art Supporters with detailed, story-driven scenic artwork that immerses the viewer in AZ's world. The Textured Full Art Holofoil finish adds a tactile, premium dimension to the illustration — the raised surface texture catches light across the scene in a way that makes the card feel alive in hand, and elevates it well above a standard foil print. For collectors who prize lore-driven artwork and narrative depth in their binders, this card is a centerpiece piece.

SIR Supporter cards occupy a uniquely coveted space in the modern TCG collector market. Traditionally among the hardest cards to pull from any modern set, they combine the scarcity of a Secret Rare with the cultural appeal of beloved characters — a combination that drives consistent, long-term demand. AZ's dedicated fan base among Kalos enthusiasts and Pokémon lore collectors ensures this card will remain a sought-after piece well beyond its initial release window.

Why This Card?

• SIR Supporter Scarcity: Special Illustration Rare Supporters are among the lowest pull-rate cards in any modern set — numbered 120/086, this card sits deep in the Secret Rare portion of the Chaos Rising checklist, making flawless raw copies genuinely difficult to source.
• Lore-Driven Collector Appeal: AZ is one of the most beloved and emotionally complex characters in Pokémon history — his story from Pokémon X & Y resonates deeply with Kalos fans and lore collectors, giving this card lasting cultural significance beyond its release window.
• Premium SIR Artwork: The scenic, story-driven illustration replaces the standard Full Art gradient with a fully realized narrative scene — exactly the kind of "binder candy" that SIR Supporters are celebrated for in the collector community.
• Grading Upside: Textured SIR cards are notoriously difficult to pull in flawless condition, meaning PSA 10 and CGC Pristine grades command a significant premium over raw near-mint copies — a well-preserved example is a strong submission candidate.
• Condition Tips: Inspect the cross-hatch texture for fingerprint oils or scuffing under direct light, and pay close attention to the four corner points on the card back — full-bleed dark borders make whitening immediately visible to graders and collectors.
