Bulbasaur #133

This Bulbasaur card from the Mega Evolution set is a notable collectible due to its status as both a Secret Rare and an Illustration Rare. Its card number, 133/132, indicates it is printed beyond the set's standard card count, a hallmark of Secret Rare cards. The 'Illustration Rare' designation further distinguishes it, typically signifying a full-art card with unique artwork that stands out from regular prints. This combination of Secret Rare status and specialized artwork contributes significantly to its appeal among collectors, often implying a lower pull rate and higher desirability within the set.

As a Grass-type Basic Pokémon with 80 HP, this Bulbasaur features the attack 'Bind Down,' which prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during your opponent's next turn. The card's distinctive art style, characteristic of Illustration Rares, likely captures the essence of the 'Seed Pokémon.' This is reinforced by its Pokédex description: "A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this POKéMON," highlighting the symbiotic relationship central to Bulbasaur's identity.
