Piplup has always carried a certain charm that transcends the game, and this Illustration Rare (098/094) from Pokémon TCG: ME02 Phantasmal Flames captures that personality perfectly. Numbered beyond the base set count — a hallmark of the IR tier — this full-art holofoil is illustrated by Jiro Sasumo, whose atmospheric, character-driven style wraps Piplup in a hauntingly beautiful phantasmal scene that reads as a display piece first and a trading card second.

  • Set: ME02: Phantasmal Flames (PFL) — the second expansion in the Mega Evolution era, released November 14, 2025, headlined by Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Gengar ex
  • Rarity: Illustration Rare — full-art holofoil treatment, card number 098/094 placing it in the premium pull tier above the base set ceiling
  • Illustrator: Jiro Sasumo
  • Market value: Current comps sit around $14–$16 for Near Mint raw copies, with graded examples surfacing at significantly higher premiums

Phantasmal Flames is one of the smallest English main sets in years at just 94 base cards, which concentrates collector demand on a tighter pull pool — and the IRs feel it. Piplup is a perennial fan favorite with deep Sinnoh nostalgia, and Sasumo's phantasmal art interpretation is exactly the kind of binder-worthy piece that draws Pokémon art collectors and Sinnoh starters enthusiasts alike. Raw NM copies are a natural submission candidate, and a strong grade will push the ceiling meaningfully higher.
