Team Rocket's Mimikyu - 238/217 - ME: Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Team Rocket's Mimikyu – 238/217 Illustration Rare | Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Team Rocket's Mimikyu is a collector favorite in one of the most significant sets the Pokémon TCG has ever produced. Ascended Heroes clocks in at 295 total cards — 217 in the main set plus 78 secret rares — making it the largest English Pokémon TCG set ever released. As a special set, its products saw staggered releases throughout the year, and individual packs are not sold separately — only in boxed products.

Card 238/217 carries the Illustration Rare rarity, numbered beyond the main set's 217-card ceiling — a hallmark of the secret rare tier — and was illustrated by artist GOSSAN. This Psychic-type Basic packs the Gemstone Mimicry attack, letting you copy any attack from your opponent's Active Tera Pokémon. A defining feature of Ascended Heroes is its trainer-Pokémon pairing format, and Team Rocket gets multiple entries — including Kangaskhan ex, Mimikyu, and Dugtrio.

There are plenty of Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare cards to be found in Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes, and Trainer's Pokémon are back in a big way. Team Rocket's Mimikyu sits at the crossroads of nostalgia — the beloved Team Rocket villain theme — and the modern Illustration Rare format that collectors are aggressively pursuing. Whether you're building a Mimikyu master collection, chasing every Trainer's Pokémon IR, or completing the ASC set, this is one of the most visually distinctive pulls in the entire set.
