![Best Mimikyu Cards from Japan: Value & Price Guide [2026]](https://samuraiswordtokyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/featured-mimikyu-cards-guide-1-1024x538.webp)
Mimikyu didn’t debut until 2016, which makes it one of the newest Pokemon to build a real chase-card resume — (rarer event promos like the Munch Exhibition Mimikyu 289/SM-P (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) surface too seldom to price reliably — ask via Quick Order if you hunt one). No vintage prints, no e-Card era, just a decade of modern Japanese sets deciding what a disguised ghost Pokemon is worth. The spread is wide: a deck-exclusive GX from a 2017 half-deck box now clears six figures, while a graded alternate-art from 2023 sits comfortably under ¥15,000.
This guide ranks the key Mimikyu chase prints we can verify by current Japanese secondary-market value, untangles the three different cards that get lumped together as “Acerola’s Mimikyu,” and shows where the affordable end of the lineup actually lives. We ship graded Mimikyu singles out of Tokyo, so the in-stock prices below are what’s live on our shelves today, not a theoretical estimate.
We have two graded Mimikyu prints on hand right now: the PSA10 Mimikyu AR (341/190, Shiny Treasure ex) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) currently listed at ¥12,502, and the PSA10 Mimikyu V CSR (233/184, VMAX Climax) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) currently listed at ¥35,889. Both are single graded copies — when they sell, they’re gone.
Prices are Japanese secondary-market figures as of August 2026. Our stock prices are the live listing price on a PSA10 graded copy; market-reference figures are recent Japanese marketplace sales and are not currently in our inventory.
Prices in this guide are SNKRDUNK asking prices and our own store listings, measured on August 7, 2026. Figures resting on a single listing are noted as such.
Mimikyu Chase Cards: The Landscape
Because Mimikyu is a Generation 7 Pokemon, its entire card history sits inside the modern era — there’s no e-Card, EX, or Diamond & Pearl-era printing to chase, which keeps the field smaller and more legible than a Pokemon like Gengar or Rayquaza. What Mimikyu does have is a genuinely strange spread of rarities: a deck-exclusive GX from a half-deck battle box, a trio of Acerola character-illustration cards spanning two different high-class packs, a Tag Team GX with Gengar, and the newest addition — a 2025 alternate-art from Japan’s MEGA-era flagship set.
Search demand backs up the interest: “Mimikyu pokemon card” and related terms cluster to roughly 4,000 monthly searches in the US alone, split fairly evenly between the Acerola-illustration cards and the shiny variants.
The Key Mimikyu Chase Cards, Ranked by Market Value
Ranked by PSA10 market value where graded sales data exists:
| Card | Set | PSA10 market |
|---|---|---|
| Team Rocket’s Mimikyu GX 010/026 | Ash VS Team Rocket Half Decks (SMD) | ¥174,000–¥181,000 (market reference) |
| Mimikyu CHR 058/049 (Acerola) | Dream League (SM11b) | ¥50,000–¥145,000 (market reference, wide range) |
| Mimikyu VMAX CSR 234/184 (Acerola) | VMAX Climax (S8b) | ¥32,000–¥50,000 (market reference) |
| Mimikyu V CSR 233/184 (Acerola) (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | VMAX Climax (S8b) | ¥35,889 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) (our PSA10 stock) |
| Mimikyu AR 341/190 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) | Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) | ¥12,502 (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) (our PSA10 stock) |
| Team Rocket’s Mimikyu AR 205/193 | MEGA Dream ex (M2a) | ¥8,888–¥9,800 (market reference) |
Team Rocket’s Mimikyu GX sits well ahead of everything else — it’s a deck-exclusive card from a 2017 half-deck box, never printed in a booster pack, which is a very different scarcity profile from a high-class pack pull. The Acerola trio (CHR and both CSRs) forms the middle tier, and the newest M2a AR is currently the cheapest chase print in the lineup. The Gengar & Mimikyu GX Tag Team variants don’t have measured PSA10 sales yet, so they’re covered separately below with their raw-market prices.
The Acerola Family: CHR, VMAX CSR & V CSR
Three separate Mimikyu cards get grouped by English-speaking collectors under the shorthand “Acerola’s Mimikyu,” and it’s worth being precise about what that actually refers to — there is no card officially named “Acerola’s Mimikyu.” What exists is three distinct prints that each feature trainer Acerola illustrated alongside her signature Mimikyu:
- Mimikyu CHR, 058/049 — Dream League (SM11b, 2019)
- Mimikyu V CSR, 233/184 — VMAX Climax (S8b, 2021)
- Mimikyu VMAX CSR, 234/184 — VMAX Climax (S8b, 2021)
The two S8b cards are a matched V/VMAX pair from the same set’s secret-rare Character Super Rare block, while the SM11b CHR predates them by two years and comes from an entirely different high-class pack. All three share the Acerola artwork concept but are separate collecting targets with separate price levels.
Our PSA10 Mimikyu V CSR (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is listed at ¥35,889 — below the recent Japanese secondary-market range of roughly ¥36,500–¥45,000 for graded PSA10 copies of the same card. The VMAX CSR pair-card and the CHR are currently outside our stock; recent PSA10 sales put the VMAX CSR around ¥32,000–¥50,000 and the CHR anywhere from ¥50,000 to ¥145,000, a wide spread that reflects how thin the graded-sale sample is at the top end.

The Affordable Entry: AR vs Shiny S (SV4a)
Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a), the 360-card high-class pack that released in Japan on December 1, 2023, carries the most accessible graded Mimikyu in this whole lineup: the Mimikyu AR at 341/190. Our PSA10 copy (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is currently listed at ¥12,502, the lowest graded price point of any Mimikyu print we track.
SV4a actually contains two different Mimikyu cards, and they aren’t the same card: the AR at 341/190 (our stock) and a separate shiny Mimikyu S at 265/190, which trades raw around ¥1,500 and is a distinct print from the AR. If a listing just says “shiny Mimikyu from Shiny Treasure ex,” confirm the card number before assuming it’s the AR.

The Gengar & Mimikyu GX Tag Team (SM9)
Before Mimikyu had solo GX-level chase cards, it shared one with Gengar. Tag Bolt (SM9, released December 7, 2018 — the Japanese counterpart to English’s Team Up) printed the Gengar & Mimikyu GX Tag Team across four separate rarities, and all four remain collectible on their own:
| Rarity | Card # | Raw market |
|---|---|---|
| SR SA | 103/095 | ¥107,000 |
| HR | 113/095 | ¥44,000 |
| SR | 102/095 | ¥25,000 |
| RR | 038/095 | ¥10,450 |
Graded PSA10 sale data on these four is too thin to quote reliably right now, so the table above reflects current raw-copy market prices rather than graded prices. The SR SA at 103/095 is the clear top of the four — it’s the secret-rare alternate-art treatment of the Tag Team artwork, and its raw price alone already exceeds the graded price of most other Mimikyu prints on this page. We’ve covered the wider Gengar side of this lineup, including other Gengar Tag Team and solo chase cards, in our Gengar cards guide.
Team Rocket’s Mimikyu: GX Grail to New M2a AR
Team Rocket’s Mimikyu is a separate character-illustration lane from the Acerola cards above, and it spans Mimikyu’s oldest chase print and its newest one.
The original, Team Rocket’s Mimikyu GX (010/026), comes from the “Ash VS Team Rocket” 30-card half-deck battle box (SMD), released April 21, 2017. It was never available in booster packs — the only way to pull it was buying that specific deck box — and that structural scarcity is why it now tops this entire ranking at roughly ¥174,000–¥181,000 for a PSA10, with even a PSA9 copy trading around ¥52,000.
The newest Mimikyu chase print arrived eight years later in M2a “MEGA Dream ex”, the Japanese high-class pack that released November 28, 2025. It added Team Rocket’s Mimikyu at 079/193 (with mirror-stamp variants) and a secret-rare Team Rocket’s Mimikyu AR at 205/193. The AR is currently the most affordable graded chase Mimikyu we track, with recent PSA10 sales around ¥8,888–¥9,800. For the full M2a set breakdown, see our M2a MEGA Dream ex complete guide, and for more on the Team Rocket sub-brand across sets, our Team Rocket Japanese Pokemon cards guide.
Dream League: Where the CHR Comes From
The Acerola CHR (058/049) covered above comes from Dream League (SM11b), a 68-card Japanese enhanced expansion pack released August 2, 2019. If you’d rather chase the card by opening product than buying the single, unopened Dream League boxes are the only source — every CHR in circulation came out of one.
At ¥157,500 sealed, the box asks more than most single graded CHR listings (¥50,000–145,000 market range) — what you are paying for is the sealed product itself: a 68-card set shot in which the Acerola CHR is one possible pull, not a guaranteed outcome.

What is “Acerola’s Mimikyu”?

Each is a separate print with its own price.

No. Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) contains two separate Mimikyu cards: the AR at 341/190 (our PSA10 stock, ¥12,502) and a distinct shiny Mimikyu S at 265/190, which trades raw around ¥1,500. They are not interchangeable listings.
