Pokémon Team Rocket's Raticate Illustration Rare 202/182 – Destined Rivals – ACE 10 Graded Card

Ace Grading – Gem Mint 10

Up for sale is a Pokémon Team Rocket's Raticate Illustration Rare (202/182) from the Destined Rivals expansion, professionally graded ACE 10 (Gem Mint).

Numbered 202/182, 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.

Raticate is the evolved form of Rattata and has long been associated with Team Rocket throughout the Pokémon games and anime. Its connection with the villainous organisation gives the card a nostalgic appeal for collectors who remember the early Pokémon storyline.

The Illustration Rare artwork showcases Team Rocket's Raticate in a detailed full-art scene that captures the gritty aesthetic often associated with Team Rocket Pokémon. The vibrant illustration and storytelling style reflect the artistic direction that has made Illustration Rare cards increasingly popular in modern Pokémon sets.

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, Team Rocket collections, or high-grade Illustration Rare portfolios.
