Holofoil 92/64 · $35.15 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.
The storyA chase SIR that also pulled its weight in tournament play
Fezandipiti ex made its TCG debut in Shrouded Fable, the August 2024 special set built around Pecharunt and the Loyal Three from the Teal Mask DLC. The number 92 print is its Special Illustration Rare, a full-art treatment by kantaro that sits near the top of the set right under Pecharunt ex.
“First TCG appearance of Fezandipiti, one of the Loyal Three”
What makes this one interesting is that the card behind the art mattered. The Double Rare version became a real Standard staple thanks to Flip the Script, a draw ability that refills your hand after you take a knockout. That two-way appeal kept the card relevant well past launch. A playable engine and a striking SIR is an unusual combination, and most chase pulls stay purely collectible. This one had a foot in both camps.
Shrouded Fable was a smaller set with friendlier pull odds than a full main expansion, so the SIR is more attainable than chase cards from larger sets. That keeps it in collectible range rather than grail territory.
By the numbersMarket analysis
This sits in the mid-pack of Special Illustration Rares: a comfortable three-figure card in raw near-mint, well below the set's Pecharunt ex SIR but clearly above the bulk SIRs. It is one of the more affordable ways to land a marquee Shrouded Fable pull.
Prices ran hot at the August 2024 launch, then settled as supply caught up. Since then it has held a steady floor rather than climbing, which is normal for a recent SIR that is still findable in the wild.
Treat it as a solid set-completion piece, not a moonshot. A small print run plus lingering competitive recognition gives it a reasonable floor, but it is a recent card with plenty of copies out there. Upside is steady rather than explosive. Any real premium lives in the graded gem-mint market.
PSA 10 copies command a clear step up over raw near-mint, and they trade actively on the major auction platforms. Centering on full-art SIRs is the usual gate, so the gem-mint premium is meaningful but not extreme for a card this available.
In Scarlet & Violet sets, any Special Illustration Rare lands roughly once in 90 packs. For reference, a Double Rare hits around 1 in 5 packs, an Illustration Rare around 1 in 12, an Ultra Rare near 1 in 15, and a Hyper Rare anywhere from 1 in 300 to 1 in 700. Those are odds for hitting any card of that tier. Pulling one specific SIR runs far longer, often into the hundreds of packs, because a set has several SIRs competing for the same slot. Shrouded Fable was a smaller special set with more generous hit rates than a full main expansion, so this SIR is comparatively easier to come across.
Within Shrouded Fable, the Pecharunt ex SIR is the top chase. Fezandipiti slots into the next group with the other Loyal Three SIRs, all desirable but more attainable than the headline card.
ArtworkWhy the art matters
kantaro is one of the newer-generation illustrators working through the Scarlet & Violet era, with full-art and special-rare pieces to their name. The work from this period leans into bold color and motion rather than soft scenery.
The full-art frames Fezandipiti in mid-motion against sweeping ribbons of black, red, and gold that echo the bird's own coloring. The swirl reads as both a wing flourish and the pheromone theme baked into the Pokemon's design. It is a high-energy composition that fills the card edge to edge.
Special Illustration Rare layout: extended full-bleed art with the holo foil running across the entire card face and the ex name styling worked into the design rather than a separate text box. Numbered 92 in the SFA set, above the 64-card main count, which marks it as a secret-rare slot.
The art does real work tying the visual to the character. The black, red, and gold swirl mirrors Fezandipiti's pheromone gimmick and its actual color scheme, so the piece feels designed for this specific Pokemon rather than a generic dramatic pose.
BackgroundAbout Fezandipiti ex
Fezandipiti is one of the Loyal Three introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC, alongside Okidogi and Munkidori, once-loyal companions tied to the Pecharunt story. Shrouded Fable was their TCG coming-out set, which is a big part of why the cards drew attention from players who knew them from the games.
- ›Debut TCG cards for a freshly introduced trio carry novelty demand
- ›The playable Double Rare made the name familiar to the competitive crowd
- ›Distinctive design with a clear color identity that translates well to full-art
- ›Part of a tightly themed, completable set
- ›Shrouded Fable (2024), Fezandipiti's TCG debut across multiple rarities including this SIR
- ›Standard-format play through the Double Rare version's Flip the Script draw engine
The Double Rare Fezandipiti ex was a genuine Standard-format staple as a draw engine. Flip the Script lets you draw three cards once per turn after one of your Pokemon was knocked out, which made it a reliable late-game recovery piece against the format's hand-disruption Trainers. The SIR is the collector-facing version of a card people actually sleeved up.
Own it wellCollector guide
Full-art SIRs show edge whitening and surface scuffs easily because the foil runs to the borders. Check the corners and the dark areas of the art under angled light, where print lines and scratches hide.
Worth grading only if the raw copy looks gem-mint, especially on centering and clean edges. The PSA 10 premium is real, but the raw card is affordable enough that a 9 rarely justifies the cost. Inspect under good light before sending. Read the grading guide →
Sleeve and toploader at minimum, or a graded slab for long-term holds. Keep it out of direct light and away from humidity swings. The large foil surface is what graders punish, so handle by the edges only. See the storage guide →
Plenty of raw copies trade on the major marketplaces, so you can be picky on centering and surface. For a long-term hold or resale, a PSA 10 removes the condition guesswork and is the cleaner buy despite the premium. Do not overpay at hype peaks, because this card has shown it settles. See the singles buying guide →
This is a modern card, so counterfeit risk is low compared to vintage, but still buy from reputable sellers. Confirm the SFA set code, the 92 number, the correct holo pattern across the full art, and crisp text. For graded purchases, verify the cert number against the grader's database.

Generally well received. Collectors like the bold color work and the fact that it backs a card people actually played. It is not the set's most hyped pull, but it gets steady respect as one of the better Loyal Three SIRs.
- ›PSA 10 gem-mint copies are actively listed and sold on major auction platforms including Fanatics Collect and eBay, with PSA tracking auction results for the SIR
Most chatter pairs the collectible SIR with the competitive Double Rare, with players noting they wanted the fancy version of a card already in their decks. Shrouded Fable as a whole drew strong launch interest as a compact, completable set.
