This Mienshao card is a fully illustrated Illustration Rare (#200/182) from the Scarlet & Violet “Paradox Rift” expansion (2023) of the Pokémon TCG. The artwork by Taira Akitsu shows Mienshao poised gracefully in a misty forest glade, with dappled sunlight on leaves and a swirling holographic foil that makes the scene shimmer. As a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon (evolving from Mienfoo), it’s depicted in a dynamic pose that captures its legendary speed – even the card’s flavor text highlights Mienshao’s powerful kicks. Collectors will value this card for its alternate-art, borderless design and nostalgic appeal to Generation V fans, making it a standout piece in any Pokémon trading card collection.
