2017 Pokemon Japanese Sun & Moon GX Battle Boost Lillie #119 CGC 10 PRISTINE

In an explosion that felt like the Trading Card Game version of the big bang, 2016 birthed a new generation centered around the Alola region via the Pokémon Sun and Moon video games—bringing many new allies and enemies into the game. Players consistently encounter one of those mysterious new characters, Lillie, throughout the storyline. Lillie dislikes Pokémon battles, so she does not do all the typical adventuring that trainers do, but players still encounter her on many occasions as she zips around the Alola region conducting her research. Eventually, players come to understand her situation and story, and can piece together how it all ties into the plethora of events within the game. Considering players spent many hours getting emotionally attached to allies, Lillie quickly became a highly beloved supporting character that transcended the video games. By 2017, the Pokémon TCG brought Lillie to life within a set via this gorgeous card. The Sun and Moon era of the Pokémon TCG sports some of the hardest pull rates for certain cards, and considering Lillie’s place as a community favorite character, it makes this offering a highly sought-after chase card—and many collectors will likely fawn over the opportunity to own it. Though an adventure for the Sun and Moon era of Pokémon, this card is a contender to become a huge star in this month’s Premier Auction.
