Budew 196/193 (M2a) AR Holo — Yoko Hishida illustration — Japanese — Pokemon TCG (Full Art)

Near‑Mint, ungraded Japanese Budew from the M2a print run — collector number 196/193 (AR/secret‑style holo). Illustrated by Yoko Hishida and printed in Japanese. The card shows the sparkly holographic finish across the artwork and the AR/alternate rare mark at the bottom left.

Condition & grading: Listed as near‑mint and being sold ungraded. Card is free of major creases or bends and retains original gloss on the front holo surface. Edges and corners appear clean from normal handling; minor surface reflections visible in photos are from the holo finish and sleeve. No raw grading submitted.

Notable features: This is a secret‑numbered card (196/193) which places it beyond the set’s listed count — a desirable find for collectors. The illustration is a whimsical, full‑art style by Yoko Hishida with a dense holo pattern that gives the card strong eye appeal in hand or under light. The Japanese printing and secret numbering increase its collectible value compared with standard prints.

Playability & collectibility: Mechanically this Budew is a basic, low‑HP card intended more for collection and set completion than for competitive play. Collectors will appreciate the AR/secret numbering, the popular artist credit, and the vibrant holo pattern. A strong option for completing a Japanese M2a set, adding to an artist collection, or displaying in a holo spotlight collection.

Notes: Card is sold ungraded in near‑mint condition and will be shipped securely in a toploader and sleeve. Images show the actual card being offered; please examine photos for holo reflections and lighting but assume the card is ungraded and sold as described.
