Ninjask #137

This Illustration Rare Ninjask card from the Mega Evolution set stands out as a desirable secret rare for collectors. Its numbering as 137/132, exceeding the standard set count, immediately signifies its increased scarcity and makes it a rarer pull from booster packs. This distinct rarity, combined with its full-art nature as an Illustration Rare, significantly contributes to its appeal and value among enthusiasts.

Beyond its collectibility, this Ninjask (the 'Ninja Pokémon') is notable for its unique Cast-Off Shell Ability. This powerful effect allows players, upon evolving a Pokémon into Ninjask, to search their deck for a Shedinja and put it directly onto their Bench. This mechanic beautifully reflects Ninjask's evolution lore, where Shedinja is formed from its discarded shell. Its single attack, U-turn, further emphasizes its agile nature, allowing for strategic switches with Benched Pokémon. The card also echoes the species' Pokédex entry, which describes Ninjask as moving at such high speeds that it's often believed to be invisible, despite its cries being clearly heard.
