Rose 196/189

Rose 196/189 is a Secret Rare Trainer card from Darkness Ablaze, a Sword and Shield era set. Rose is a Supporter card featuring the Chairman of Galar's Macro Cosmos, a figure many players will recognise from the Pokemon Sword and Shield games. As a Trainer, the card supports your strategy on the bench rather than attacking, and Supporters can only be played once per turn, which makes the strong ones highly valued in deck building.

The 196/189 number is what marks this card as a Secret Rare. Because the first number (196) is higher than the size of the printed set (189), the card falls beyond the standard numbering, a hallmark of Secret Rare cards. This example also carries the Rainbow rare treatment, giving it a multicoloured foil finish across the artwork.

Collectors look for Rainbow Secret Rares like this Rose because they round out a Darkness Ablaze master set and showcase one of the more eye catching foil styles of the era.
