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

Ungraded, listed as mint overall with visible minor edge wear: small whitening along portions of the border. Holo surface and print remain bright with no major creases visible in the supplied images; edges/corners are the primary source of wear. Card is ungraded and sold as shown.

This is the Japanese secret rare full-art Mega Lucario ex (card number 228/193) from Sword & Shield — Battle Styles. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics, the card features an oversized “MEGABRAVE” title treatment, vibrant full-art illustration and a strong holo finish that makes the colors pop. The card shows the Fighting-type symbol, Mega ex branding and the printed 340 HP, making it a striking display centerpiece.

Collector notes: this is a sought-after Japanese secret rare due to its oversized art and bold holo. It carries solid visual appeal for Lucario fans, ex/Mega collectors, and anyone building a Sword & Shield showcase. Because of the visible edge whitening, it’s best considered a collectible/display piece or a candidate for grading at lower tiers rather than an immediate top-grade submission. Illustration credit (5ban Graphics) and the foil finish are intact and clearly legible.

Playability/value: primarily a collector item rather than a staple for competitive play. Ungraded near-mint/mint examples like this often attract buyers who want the visual impact or who plan to submit for grading; please note the edge wear when considering grading potential. Additional close-up photos of edges, corners, or surface are available on request for precise inspection.
