Character info
The character
Team Rocket is the criminal organization from the Pokémon world, infamous for stealing Pokémon and pursuing various schemes of exploitation and power. Its members communicate and coordinate operations using signature branded equipment, often marked with the red "R" logo. This transceiver represents one such tool used to relay orders and strategies among its agents.
This card
This is a Full Art Secret Rare item card numbered 263/217 from the Ascended Heroes set, released January 30, 2026. The artwork by inose yukie depicts a stylized, holographic Team Rocket communication device against a glowing circuit-pattern background. As a secret rare beyond the main set's base count of 217, it carries the gold-star SR rarity marking printed near the collector number.

This Item card reads: "Search your deck for a Supporter card that has 'Team Rocket' in its name, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck." An additional rules box states, "You may play any number of Item cards during your turn."

Illustrated by inose yukie and published 2026-01-30. Both come from the public catalogue, not from WinnTCG.
A catalogue match is not the authenticity check. It confirms the card is the card it claims to be. Whether it is genuine was checked separately, on the card itself; see Authenticity below.
Authenticity
WinnTCG authenticated this card in hand, on the bench, against genuine Pokémon cards. It was checked four ways: light shone through it to check the core, its weight on a scale, its thickness measured, and its print pattern and surface texture under magnification.
How this card was graded
WinnTCG graded this card in hand, on the bench. The card was in our hands, and we sealed the case ourselves. We photographed it here under controlled light to show which card is in the case and where anything we marked sits on it.
If you are buying this slab: the grade is WinnTCG’s judgement of the card that was in front of us, and WinnTCG sealed this case. The photographs above are of that card. Compare them against what you can see through the case, because a case can be opened by anyone who has held it since.
The working behind this grade
Every grade here is published with its reasoning. The report states what each measurement returned, what the model proposed on each axis, where the grader disagreed with it, and every defect marked on the photographs above.
