Mega Lucario ex 228/193 (Japanese) — Sword & Shield Battle Styles (Secret Rare) (Holographic (Holo))

Ungraded Japanese Mega Lucario ex, card number 228/193 from the Sword & Shield — Battle Styles expansion (secret rare). Illus. 5ban Graphics. Full-art, vibrant holo finish with the large “MEGABRAVE” art treatment and 340 HP — striking centerpiece for any Pokémon collection.

Condition & grading: I’m selling this ungraded. I list the card as mint overall, but please note there is minor edge wear visible in photos (small whitening along parts of the border). The holo surface and print remain bright with no major creases visible in the supplied images; edges are the primary source of wear.

Notable features: This is a Japanese secret rare (228/193), a highly sought-after variant because of its oversized full-art/holo presentation and the prominent MEGABRAVE title treatment. The card displays the Fighting-type symbol and Mega ex branding, and the illustration by 5ban Graphics is especially bold and colorful compared with standard prints.

Playability & collectible value: This card is primarily a collector’s piece — desirable to fans of Lucario, ex/Mega art cards, and secret rares from the Sword & Shield era. Ungraded examples in near-mint/mint condition can attract interest from buyers looking to grade or add a strong visual card to a display. Because of the visible edge wear, expect it to perform best as a collectible rather than as a candidate for a top-grade submission.

Additional notes: Card is the Japanese print; foil/holo finish is intact and bright. Illustration credit (5ban Graphics) is printed on card. I’ve described visible condition accurately — buyers who need more detailed close-ups of the edges, corners, or surface can request photos of specific areas.
