Psyduck 226/217 — Illustration Rare — Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes is the first special expansion released during the Mega Evolution Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. With 295 cards, Ascended Heroes is the largest Pokémon TCG expansion ever released, and its January 30th release coincided with the 30th anniversary of Pokémon — making it one of the most culturally loaded sets of the modern era. This Psyduck lands at #226/217, a secret rare slot that puts it well beyond the base set count, carrying the coveted Illustration Rare designation.

Singled out by The Pokémon Company itself as a highlight of the set, this Psyduck showcases the beloved Pokémon in a tranquil water scene, surrounded by plenty more beautiful Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare artwork. Illustrated by artist REND, it's a full-art scene that collectors are chasing specifically for its serene, painterly presentation — a world away from the standard Psyduck prints.

  • Rarity: Illustration Rare (IR) — 226/217
  • Set: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes (ASC), 2026
  • Artist: REND
  • Type / HP / Stage: Water / 70 / Basic

The market has spoken clearly on this one. The Psyduck 226/217 Illustration Rare in raw Near Mint condition last sold for $101.68 on the secondary market. TCGplayer's current market price sits at $101.88, with listings starting at $75. Graded copies scale significantly: PSA 10 copies have sold as high as $129.99, CGC 10s have reached $300, and TAG 10s have ranged from $500 to $680.

Even though Ascended Heroes is technically a Mega set, it's also clearly the capstone for Scarlet & Violet — a milestone that solidifies long-term collector demand. The set contains 33 Illustration Rare Pokémon, and this Psyduck IR is among the most sought after of that group. Raw or graded, this is a blue-chip Pokémon Illustration Rare from a record-breaking release — the kind of card that holds its floor and rewards patience.
