Ace Grading – Gem Mint 10

Up for sale is a Pokémon Rapidash Illustration Rare (189/182) from the Destined Rivals expansion, professionally graded ACE 10 (Gem Mint).

Numbered 189/182, this card sits beyond the standard set list, identifying it as a special Illustration Rare pull. Illustration Rare cards are highly sought after due to their detailed full-art artwork, lower pull rates and strong collector demand within modern Pokémon releases.

Rapidash, the elegant Fire-type evolution of Ponyta, is one of the original Generation 1 Pokémon. Its graceful design and association with speed and power have made it a long-standing fan favourite among collectors.

The Illustration Rare artwork showcases Rapidash in a beautifully detailed full-art scene that highlights the cinematic storytelling style introduced in modern Pokémon sets. These expressive illustrations have become one of the defining features of the Scarlet & Violet era and are highly appreciated by collectors.

An ACE 10 grade confirms Gem Mint condition, representing exceptional centring, flawless surface quality, sharp corners and clean edges.

Professionally graded in the UK by ACE Grading, the card is sealed in an official tamper-evident protective slab to preserve its pristine condition long-term. A great addition for collectors building Destined Rivals master sets, Illustration Rare collections, or portfolios focused on iconic Generation 1 Pokémon.
