About This Card

The Bulbasaur Art Rare from the Japanese-exclusive Mega Brave set is a card that exemplifies everything collectors love about the premium Japanese TCG printing experience. Released in August 2025, this card is numbered 064/063 — a Secret Rare designation that places it past the 63-card main set checklist, with the lower pull rates and genuine scarcity that come with that territory. Illustrated by HYOGONOSUKE, the full-bleed, borderless artwork places Bulbasaur in a beautifully stylized, cozy natural environment rendered in the artist's signature soft, storybook-like style — warm tones, natural lighting, and an intimate character focus that makes the card feel like a painting rather than a game piece.

HYOGONOSUKE has become one of the most sought-after illustrators in the modern Pokémon TCG collector community, celebrated for a distinctive aesthetic that prioritizes warmth, atmosphere, and emotional resonance over action or drama. Cards illustrated by HYOGONOSUKE consistently attract a dedicated sub-collector following, and this Bulbasaur AR — featuring one of the most beloved original starter Pokémon in the franchise — is a natural centerpiece for any HYOGONOSUKE collection or Bulbasaur master set. The matte-textured Japanese holofoil finish adds a tactile, premium dimension unique to Japanese card manufacturing, with crisp, high-definition print detailing that sets Japanese prints apart from their English counterparts.

This copy has been professionally graded by PSA and awarded a grade of 9 — Mint, reflecting a card with strong eye appeal, well-centered artwork, clean surfaces, and sharp corners with only the most minor allowable imperfections. A PSA 9 represents an exceptional copy of a condition-sensitive matte holofoil card, and commands a meaningful premium over ungraded raw copies in the market.
