Market outlook
Stable Outlook 7/10
The card has solid character demand, but it is a modern ultra-rare with relatively healthy supply. Prices for raw copies usually stabilize after initial set release, while gem-mint graded copies can remain firmer due to collector preference.
Next months. Expect mostly stable raw prices with occasional small spikes if the card gains competitive relevance or if interest in Mimikyu increases.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, raw copies may drift slightly downward or remain flat, while high-grade copies should hold value better if collector demand stays strong.
History
Mimikyu is a Ghost/Fairy-type Pokémon introduced in the main series video games as a Gen 7 Pokémon from the Alola region. Its lore centers on a shy, lonely creature that disguises itself as Pikachu so it can be loved and accepted, which made it one of the most memorable modern Pokémon characters. The ex card represents Mimikyu’s strong popularity in both casual and competitive TCG communities, especially because the Pokémon’s design and story resonate with collectors.
This specific English card was first released in the Pokémon TCG set Journey Together in 2025, card number 069/159, as a Double Rare Mimikyu ex.
- This is a Mimikyu ex card from the Scarlet & Violet era, with the card text featuring Mischievous Hands and Ghostly Trip.
- Mimikyu ex appears in at least two English printings/versions associated with Journey Together and a Black Star Promo/box-related release referenced in market databases.
- The card is sought after because Mimikyu has enduring character popularity and ex-era special rarity cards generally attract both players and collectors.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for whitening on edges and corners, centering issues, surface scratches on the holo and Full Art finish, print lines, and roller marks. Double Rare cards are often pulled from packs in excellent shape, so mint copies should have clean surfaces and strong centering. Pay special attention to the black borders and textured areas where imperfections are easy to spot.
Storage. Store in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader or one-touch case for higher-grade copies. Keep away from humidity, heat, and sunlight. For long-term storage, use acid-free sleeves and binders with side-loading pockets, and avoid repeated handling without clean hands or gloves.
Authenticity. Verify correct font, texture, set symbol, card number 069/159, and holographic pattern. Counterfeits often have dull texture, blurry text, incorrect coloration, or inconsistent energy symbols. Compare against official database images or trusted marketplace photos, and if valuable, consider graded, graded, or graded grading for authentication.
