About this card
A wonderfully characterful Helioptile Illustration Rare from the 2025 English Pokémon TCG set ME01: Mega Evolution. Numbered 143/132 — beyond the standard set total as befits an Illustration Rare — this card presents the charming Generation VI Electric-type Pokémon in the gorgeous full-art holo style that makes IR cards such standout collector pieces. What makes this card particularly special is its illustrator: the legendary Yuka Morii — one of the most celebrated and beloved artists in the entire history of the Pokémon TCG, renowned for her distinctive soft, almost clay-like illustration style that gives her subjects a uniquely warm and tactile quality. A Yuka Morii IR is a genuinely special collector piece, and Helioptile's sunny, lizard-like design is a natural fit for her distinctive aesthetic. Helioptile is a delightful Generation VI Pokémon from the Kalos region, the Solar Pokémon whose electricity is powered entirely by sunlight — its expressive, frilled design making it a charming and endearing presence in any collection. A card that appeals as much to admirers of Yuka Morii's distinctive artistry as it does to fans of the Pokémon itself.
