A Pokemon TCG fan received an incredible painting of a rare Mew card as a gift from their girlfriend. Since it was introduced in the first generation, Mew has been a prominent presence in the franchise’s games and other media. The same goes for Pokemon TCG, in which the Psychic-type has made many appearances.
The first card featuring Mew was released in 2003 as part of the Wizards Black Star Promos expansion. Since then, the Mythical pocket monster has been featured on 36 other cards, one of the main ones being Ancient Mew, a rare card given in 2000 to ticket buyers to see the movie The Power of One. Another highlight is the Pokemon TCG GX card in which Mew appears with Mewtwo, and which first appeared in the 2019 Unified Minds expansion. The Kantonian Pokemon has another card that is also iconic and inspired a heartwarming gift.
