Holofoil 187/132 · $193.11 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.
The storyElegance at Peak Rarity
Gardevoir occupies a specific space in Pokemon collecting. Not a legendary, not a mascot, but popular through design appeal and competitive relevance. The Pokemon looks regal. Its Mega Evolution enhanced that, turning it into something that resembled a ballroom gown.
“Mega Hyper Rare, the peak rarity tier in the set”
That design resonated. Gardevoir developed a collector following that shows up whenever premium versions release. Putting it at the MHR tier recognises that demand.
The Psychic/Fairy typing after Mega Evolution also matters. Fairy types attract their own collector base. Gardevoir bridges Psychic fans and Fairy fans. Both groups want this card.
By the numbersMarket analysis

Prices for Mega Evolution era cards are still establishing patterns as the sets are relatively new. Gardevoir cards historically maintain collector interest. The elegant design has lasting appeal.
Gardevoir has proven staying power in the collector market. The design ages well. MHR rarity limits supply. Solid fundamentals for long-term collector interest, though not at Charizard appreciation levels.

ArtworkWhy the art matters
Artist information pending verification from card database updates.
Mega Gardevoir in its evolved form with the flowing white gown design. The gold MHR treatment adds metallic elements. The Psychic-type's elegant pose emphasises grace over power.
Mega Hyper Rare treatment includes gold etching throughout the card. The holofoil effects interact with the white and pink colour palette. Premium finish distinguishes it from lower rarity versions.
Mega Gardevoir's design stands out among Mega Evolutions. Instead of looking more fierce, it looks more elegant. The ballroom aesthetic is unique. The MHR gold treatment complements rather than overwhelms that design.
BackgroundAbout Mega Gardevoir ex
Gardevoir appeared in Generation III with Ruby and Sapphire (2002). It evolves from Kirlia, which evolves from Ralts. Originally pure Psychic, it gained Fairy typing in Generation VI when Fairy was introduced. Mega Gardevoir enhanced its Fairy characteristics with the dress-like design. The name combines 'garde' (to guard) with 'devoir' (duty), referencing its protective nature toward its trainer.
