Pokemon Marill - 232/217 - ME: Ascended Heroes (ASC)

Marill — 232/217 Illustration Rare — Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes

Every once in a while a fan-favorite Pokémon gets the full-art treatment it truly deserves. This is that card. Marill 232/217 is an Illustration Rare — a holofoil full-art secret rare numbered beyond the 217-card main set — featuring original artwork by illustrator Rond, giving collectors a completely different visual experience from the standard Yoshimoto Yoshimon base print. It originates from the Japanese Start Deck 100 Battle Collection and landed in the English set as one of 33 Illustration Rares tucked inside the secret rare block.

• Set: Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes (ASC), released January 30, 2026
• Rarity: Illustration Rare (IR) — holofoil full-art secret rare, #232/217
• Illustrator: Rond (exclusive to this IR print)
• Card type: Psychic-type Basic Pokémon, Regulation Mark J — Standard legal
• Current market value: $15–$17 raw, with recent comps hitting $17.66 (LP) and trending upward

The set itself is historic — 295 total cards, making it the largest English Pokémon TCG set ever printed, edging out Fusion Strike's previous record. With 78 secret rares packed into one release and God Packs confirmed at roughly 1-in-2,000 packs, every IR pull carries real weight. Marill has always been a collector darling, and this Rond-illustrated version — a softer, scene-driven full-art in a set defined by bold Mega Evolution showpieces — stands out precisely because of its contrast. The market has noticed: raw copies have gained over 3% in the last 30 days alone. A clean NM copy of this card now, before graded population builds, is the smart move.
