Character info
The character
Galarian Mr. Rime is an Ice and Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in the Galar region, evolving from Galarian Mr. Mime. Known for its tap-dancing and sketch-comedy inspired design, it uses its cane to freeze the ground beneath opponents as part of its routines. It is a regional variant that trades the psychic focus of its original form for an icy performance gimmick.
This card
This is Galarian Mr. Rime V, card number 049 out of 189 from the Astral Radiance set, printed in 2022. It is a Full Art Holo Rare V, identified by the extended illustration that covers the full card frame and the V rule box at the bottom. The artwork, by 5ban Graphics, shows the Pokémon mid-motion against an icy, prismatic background with its cane and hat prominently displayed.
