Holofoil 128/94 · $12.36 — the only variant this card was printed in (no reverse holo or special pattern), so a master set needs just this one copy.

Mega Lopunny ex Special Illustration Rare from Phantasmal Flames features the Rabbit Pokemon in its fighting-ready Mega form. Lopunny's Mega Evolution added Fighting type and transformed its appearance from cute to fierce. The SIR treatment captures that transformation for collectors who appreciate the design shift.

The storyFrom Cute to Combat Ready

Regular Lopunny is a Normal-type rabbit. Fluffy, cute, approachable. Mega Lopunny became something else. Fighting type added. Ripped ear fur like bandages. The transformation was dramatic.

“Mega Evolution added Fighting type to Normal-type Lopunny”

That design shift made Mega Lopunny memorable. It's not just stronger. It looks like a completely different Pokemon in terms of attitude. Collectors who appreciate design evolution gravitate toward this.

In Phantasmal Flames, Mega Lopunny provides Normal/Fighting representation. Not the chase card, but a solid SIR with its own appeal.

Good to knowFrequently asked questions

Added Fighting type to Normal. The design became more aggressive with torn-ear-fur resembling bandages. Scrappy ability let it hit Ghost types. Complete personality shift from cute rabbit to fighter.
Yes. Priced below Mega Charizard and Dawn. Good entry point for collectors wanting SIR representation from the set without chase card prices.
Mega Evolutions often emphasised a different aspect of the Pokemon. Lopunny's legs were always powerful for kicking. Mega form brought that fighting potential to the forefront visually.
