Mela 254/182

Mela is a Trainer card from Paradox Rift, a Scarlet and Violet era set themed around the Ancient and Future Paradox Pokemon. As a Supporter, Mela gives players an effect they can use once per turn, and the character has become a recognisable face from this stretch of the game.

This is the 254/182 print, which carries the Special Illustration Rare treatment. Special Illustration Rares place the character in a full bleed, story driven scene that extends across the whole card, and they sit among the most sought after pulls in modern sets. Because the artwork is more elaborate than a standard Supporter print, these versions tend to be the ones collectors chase.

The number sitting above the main set count of 182 reflects its place in the extended portion of Paradox Rift, where the premium Trainer artwork lives. Collectors look for Mela to complete a Paradox Rift run or to showcase the Special Illustration Rare artwork style.
