Mr. Mime 179/165 (JP)

This is Mr. Mime 179/165, a Japanese card from the Pokemon 151 set. It carries the Art Rare treatment, a finish that hands the full card frame over to a single piece of illustrated artwork rather than the standard bordered layout. The effect places Mr. Mime in a setting drawn with plenty of personality, and the extended art is what sets these cards apart from their regular set counterparts.

Pokemon 151 revisits the original Kanto roster, so cards from this set carry a strong sense of nostalgia for long time collectors. Mr. Mime has been a recognisable face since the earliest games, and seeing it given the Art Rare style appeals to people building a complete 151 run as well as those who simply favour the character. The 179/165 number sits above the set's base count, which marks it as one of the higher numbered chase cards rather than a common pull.
