Mr. Mime 179/165

This is Mr. Mime from the 151 set, the Scarlet and Violet release that revisits the original Kanto roster. The card is numbered 179/165, and because the first number runs past the set total of 165, it sits beyond the main set as one of the chase cards.

This printing is an illustration rare, a category prized for its detailed scene based artwork. Rather than a simple portrait, illustration rares place the Pokemon within a setting that tells a small story, and the 151 set leaned into nostalgic Kanto scenes that collectors took to quickly. Mr. Mime has been a recognisable face since the very first generation, so its illustration rare carries plenty of charm.

For collectors building the 151 illustration rare run or adding Kanto favourites to the binder, this raw single is a welcome pick up.
