Minun - 194/182 - SV04: Paradox Rift (PAR) Pokemon

Minun — 194/182 — SV04: Paradox Rift Illustration Rare

This is one of the most beloved Illustration Rares to come out of the entire Scarlet & Violet era. Minun 194/182 carries a collector number beyond the set's 182-card base, placing it firmly in secret rare territory — the format Pokémon TCG adopted beginning with Scarlet & Violet to elevate full-art Illustration Rares above the standard set. Artist OKACHEKE delivers a warm, characterful piece that captures Minun at its most endearing, and the market has responded accordingly.

• Rarity: Illustration Rare (IR) — holofoil, numbered beyond the base set at 194/182
• Set: SV04: Paradox Rift (2023), a 266-card release built around Ancient and Future Pokémon from Area Zero
• Mechanic: Minun's Buddy Pulse Ability pairs with Plusle — when both are in play, every Energy attach by your opponent costs them 2 damage counters
• Market: Raw NM copies trade around the $45–$51 market range; PSA 9 slabs have sold in the $30–$50 range with PSA population already tracking over 1,700 graded copies total

The Plusle & Minun pair from Paradox Rift has become a set-completing must-have for Scarlet & Violet master set builders — and this Minun IR is the harder pull of the two. Collectors chasing the Paradox Rift master set's 84 secret rares know this card well. Raw near-mint is the smart entry point before this one gets absorbed into binders for good.
