About this Ditto Premium Single – AR Art Rare Pokémon card (197/172)

This Ditto AR Art Rare Pokémon card (197/172) – Near Mint – Japanese is a premium single from CardNest, an independent Canadian Pokémon card shop based in Edmonton, Alberta. It features Ditto in playful Art Rare artwork from the VSTAR Universe set in the Sword & Shield era, making it suited for binder pages, Ditto fans, or people who enjoy funny illustration-style Pokémon cards. As a classic Gen 1 Pokémon from Kanto, Ditto adds a familiar favourite to premium Japanese pages, and this scene is especially charming because Ditto is disguised as Numel across a bright countryside field. In VSTAR Universe, Art Rare cards like this help create standout binder pages with memorable artwork, playful storytelling, and set-specific character moments.

This card is part of our Premium Singles category – reserved for special illustration, Galarian Gallery, Art Rare and full-art style hits.
