Mimikyu didn’t debut until 2016, which makes it one of the newest Pokemon to build a real chase-card resume. Rarer event promos such as the Munch Exhibition Mimikyu 289/SM-P surface too seldom to price. No vintage prints, no e-Card era: Mimikyu full art cards are 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.

Mimikyu Full Art Cards: Every Japanese CHR / CSR / AR / SR / HR Print
Collectors use “full art” for prints whose artwork fills the whole card face. Japanese sets do not print those words: the official card database prints only a rarity code, and the full-art treatments are the SR (full-art ex and Supporter cards), SAR (Special Art Rare), AR (Art Rare), CHR / CSR (Character Rare) and the gold UR and rainbow HR printings.

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 asking price:
| Card | Set | PSA10 ask (Aug 7, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 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) | VMAX Climax (S8b) | ¥36,500–¥45,000 (SNKRDUNK asks, August 7, 2026) |
| Mimikyu AR 341/190 | Shiny Treasure ex (SV4a) | — |
| 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 has the lowest ask of the priced prints.
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.
As of August 7, 2026, SNKRDUNK PSA10 asks for the V CSR ran roughly ¥36,500–¥45,000. The VMAX CSR asked around ¥32,000–¥50,000 and the CHR anywhere from ¥50,000 to ¥145,000, a wide spread 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.
SV4a actually contains two different Mimikyu cards, and they aren’t the same card: the AR at 341/190 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.
For the broader set context — pull structure and other chase cards from the same pack — see our Shiny Treasure ex pull rates and best cards guide.
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 ask (Aug 7, 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| SR SA | 103/095 | ¥107,000 |
| HR | 113/095 | ¥44,000 |
| SR | 102/095 | ¥25,000 |
| RR | 038/095 | ¥10,450 |
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 ask 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, with even a PSA9 copy asked at around ¥52,000 as of August 7, 2026.
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. 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.
The box is currently listed at ¥153,773 (~$999), above most single graded CHR asks — 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.
