Holofoil 113/88 · $9.17 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.
The storyA full-art Trainer that earns its slot on playability
Poke Pad is an Item card, not a creature, and that shapes everything about it. The effect lets you search your deck for a Pokemon that does not have a Rule Box, reveal it, and put it in your hand. In plain terms, it grabs your basic attackers and your support Pokemon, anything that is not an ex or other Rule Box card. That is the kind of consistency glue competitive decks live on.
“Item Trainer, not a Pokemon, illustrated by Studio Bora Inc.”
The card debuted in Ascended Heroes and got reprinted in Perfect Order, the third main expansion of the 2026 Mega Evolution Series. The reprint spread the supply around and put the effect in more hands. The Ultra Rare full-art version, numbered 113/088, is the collector chase. It is the same Item you would shuffle into a deck, dressed up in full-bleed art for people who want the pretty copy.
For master-set builders this is a required pull. Full-art Trainers sit near the top of any Perfect Order checklist, and a search Item that sees real play tends to hold attention longer than a one-off gimmick card.
By the numbersMarket analysis
Poke Pad sits in the mid-pack tier of Perfect Order Ultra Rares. It is well below the marquee Mega ex chases but clearly above bulk. You can pick it up sealed-pull cheap or grab it as a single without much pain. Live market pricing is shown elsewhere on this page.
Pricing has been steady to gently rising since release, which is typical for a playable Trainer that gets demand from both deckbuilders and master-set collectors. There is no hype spike here, just a slow floor held up by utility.
Treat this as a utility hold, not a moonshot. Playable search Items keep a price floor as long as they stay legal and useful, but the reprint and the ceiling on Item cards cap the upside. A graded gem copy makes sense if you already want one for the binder. As a pure flip, less so.
Full-art Trainers can carry a meaningful premium in PSA 10 or BGS gem condition because the large art borders chip and whiten easily, so clean copies are scarcer than raw supply suggests. For a card at this price level, grading mostly pays off on flawless copies you can submit cheaply.
Perfect Order is a Mega Evolution Series set, not a Scarlet & Violet set, so the published SV per-rarity odds do not map cleanly onto it. As an Ultra Rare full art, Poke Pad sits at the harder-to-pull end of the set rather than in the common slots, and pulling this one specific card runs much longer than pulling any Ultra Rare, since the set spreads its hits across many cards. In practice most collectors find it faster and cheaper to buy the single than to chase it from packs. Confirm current pack odds against the set's printed rarity breakdown.
Within Perfect Order, this is a mid-tier chase. It is rarer and pricier than the set's commons, reverse holos, and lower rares, but it sits below the Mega ex headline cards and any hyper or special-art top pulls that anchor the set.
ArtworkWhy the art matters
Studio Bora Inc. is a Japanese illustration studio that has produced a large volume of modern Pokemon TCG art, including item and Trainer cards. Studio work like this tends to be clean and product-focused rather than tied to a single signature painter.
This is the Ultra Rare full-art treatment of the Poke Pad Item, with the artwork extended across the full card face instead of the small boxed window on the regular print. I could not verify the exact scene in the full-art version from a source this session, so I will not describe details I cannot confirm. What is reliable is that it is a full-bleed Trainer art and the illustrator is Studio Bora Inc.
Full-art Trainer cards use a holo treatment across the entire card and thin, dark borders. Those borders are the first thing to show edge wear and silvering, which is why condition matters more here than on a standard-bordered card.
Item cards rarely get the full-art glow-up. When a genuinely useful search card like Poke Pad does, it becomes a card people want for two reasons at once, the deck and the binder. That dual demand is what keeps it from sliding into bulk.
BackgroundAbout Poke Pad
Poke Pad is not a Pokemon. It is a piece of trainer gear in the game's fiction, similar to how a Poke Ball or other gadget Items are depicted. Its identity in the TCG is purely mechanical. It is a search engine for your deck. That makes its story a card-design one rather than a creature one, and it earned its spot by being a reliable way to pull a non-Rule-Box Pokemon out of the deck on demand.

Own it wellCollector guide
The full-art borders are the weak point. Check the four edges and corners under good light for silvering and whitening, and inspect the holo surface for print lines and scratches. Centering on full-art Trainers can run off, so eyeball the border thickness on all sides before paying a premium.
Grade only clean, well-centered copies. At this price tier the grading fee and a gem-only premium mean a 9 often is not worth the cost, while a true 10 on a sharp copy can pay for itself. If you just want it for the master set, a raw NM single is the smart buy. Read the grading guide →
Sleeve in a penny sleeve plus a top loader or one-touch right away, since the dark borders show handling fast. Keep it out of direct light and away from humidity swings, and store it upright in a binder with side-loading pages or in a rigid holder. See the storage guide →
Buy the single rather than ripping packs for it. The math favors the single almost every time on a mid-tier Ultra Rare. Compare the regular printing against this full-art version so you know which one you are paying for, and watch listings that conflate the two. For a binder copy, a raw near-mint is plenty. See the singles buying guide →
For a 2026 card, authentication is lower risk than vintage, but still buy from reputable sellers. Check the card number 113/088, the full-art layout, the Studio Bora Inc. credit, and standard modern texture and holo behavior. For serious money or graded purchases, buy slabbed from a recognized grader.
Protect your card
Low Chase Score — basic protection is plenty. · Amazon affiliate links · Storage guideWord on the streetCommunity sentiment
Players have welcomed Poke Pad as a strong, flexible search Item, and the Perfect Order reprint was read as a way to ease demand and get more copies into circulation. Collectors treat the full art as a satisfying pull rather than a marquee one, a card you are happy to see but not the chase that defines the set.
Most chatter frames it as a deckbuilding tool first and a collectible second. The reprint angle came up a lot, since getting a playable card back in print at a lower entry point is generally seen as good for the format.
