Piplup 239/236

This is Piplup 239/236 from Cosmic Eclipse, part of the Sun and Moon era of the Pokemon Trading Card Game. The card number tells the story at a glance: with 239 sitting above the set total of 236, this Piplup falls beyond the standard numbering, which marks it as a secret rare from the back end of the set.

Cosmic Eclipse was the final main expansion of the Sun and Moon era and one of its largest, so its secret rares sit at the very top of an already substantial set. Piplup, the water starter introduced in the Sinnoh region, is a long standing favourite whose cheerful design keeps it popular with collectors of all kinds. Seeing it given a secret rare slot makes this a card that stands out from the regular printings.

Collectors look for Cosmic Eclipse secret rares because they are harder to come by than the standard cards and round out a complete set. A secret rare Piplup is a friendly target for starter fans and Sun and Moon collectors alike.
