Mienshao 072/066 (JP)

This is Mienshao from Ancient Roar, a Japanese set release. The card is a Japanese language print, so the artwork and wording match the original release rather than an English localisation.

The Art Rare tag marks this as one of the more sought after pulls. Art Rare cards use a full illustration that spans the whole card, showing the Pokemon within a detailed scene instead of the standard portrait frame. The collector number 072/066 sits beyond the main numbered set of 066, which is typical of these special illustration cards placed after the base numbering. Mienshao is a graceful, fast moving design that translates well to the wider artwork format, making this a card that collectors notice in a binder. It suits anyone working through an Ancient Roar run or building a focused Mienshao collection.

For fans of Japanese Art Rares and standout illustrations, this print is a worthwhile addition.
