Kangaskhan #204

This Kangaskhan card from the Destined Rivals set is a notable Illustration Rare and a secret card, identified by its collector number 204/182, which extends beyond the standard set count. As an Illustration Rare, its value is significantly driven by the full-art treatment and the implied rarity of pulling such a card. The unique artwork by Mékayu is a primary factor in its collectibility, making it a desirable find for collectors of the Scarlet & Violet series.

Mékayu's art beautifully captures the "Parent Pokémon" in a tender moment, likely referencing its Pokédex entry: "The infant rarely ventures out of its mother's protective pouch until it is 3 years old." The card's flavor text further enhances this theme, noting "There are records of a lost human child being raised by a childless Kangaskhan," adding a poignant layer to the illustration. Mechanically, Kangaskhan is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring the attacks Gentle Slap and Dizzy Punch, the latter offering a chance for significant damage based on coin flips.
