Set and Rarity Overview

The Mega Evolution set is a celebrated release in the Pokemon TCG lineup, featuring a wide range of Pokemon including powerful Mega Evolutions and fan-favourite species. Cards numbered beyond the official set total, such as 153/132, are considered secret or Illustration Rare cards and represent some of the most visually impressive and collectible entries in the set.

Illustration Rares are distinguished by their unique, scene-style artwork that extends across the full card face. This format has become a collector favourite, as the artwork often depicts Pokemon in dynamic, everyday, or narrative moments rather than the traditional posed formats.

If you’re looking to complete your Mega Evolution set or are specifically hunting Gumshoos Illustration Rare cards, this single listing gives you a direct path to acquiring it without needing to open booster packs. You can also explore the Pokemon TCG Mega Evolution Base Set Booster Box (36x Packs) if you prefer the sealed pack experience.

Condition and Shipping

When purchasing Pokemon TCG singles, card condition is one of the most important factors for both collectors and players. A raw card refers to a card that has not been professionally graded or encapsulated, and is the standard format for most single card purchases.

Here are the standard condition grades you’ll typically encounter when buying singles:

• Near Mint (NM): Minimal to no visible wear, sharp corners, clean surface. Ideal for collectors and competitive play.
• Lightly Played (LP): Minor surface marks or edge wear, but no major damage. Still highly presentable.
• Moderately Played (MP): Noticeable wear including creases, scuffs, or edge whitening. Functional for casual play.
• Heavily Played (HP): Significant wear. Generally suitable for casual use only.

For the best display and resale value, collectors typically seek Gumshoos 153/132 Near Mint condition copies. Cards in NM condition preserve the holofoil finish and illustration quality to its fullest extent.
