Card Details

• Card Name: Canari
• Card Number: 291/217
• Set: Ascended Heroes
• Rarity: Special Illustration Rare
• Card Type: Trainer, Supporter
• Category: Pokemon TCG Single

The Canari 291/217 card sits beyond the standard set numbering, which is the hallmark of Special Illustration Rare cards in the modern Pokemon TCG. These cards feature full-art or extended illustration treatments that distinguish them visually from their standard counterparts. For collectors, that card number above the set total is exactly what makes a card like this desirable.

Card Effect

Canari is a Supporter card, meaning it falls under the Trainer card category and follows standard Supporter rules: only one Supporter may be played per turn. As with all Supporter cards in the Pokemon TCG, Canari’s effect is activated by playing it from your hand during your turn, then placing it in the discard pile after use.

For specific card effect text, refer to the card itself or the official Pokemon TCG card database, as verified printed text takes precedence over any secondary source.

Why Collect Canari 291

The Ascended Heroes Canari Special Illustration Rare appeals to two distinct groups: competitive players who want a visually premium version of a functional Supporter card, and collectors who target full-art and extended-art singles as the centrepieces of a set collection.

Here is why collectors and players pursue cards like the Canari Pokemon card:

• Card number beyond set total: Cards numbered above the standard set count, such as 291 out of 217, are produced in lower print quantities relative to base set cards, making them a focused target for set completion.
• Special Illustration treatment: The artwork on Special Illustration Rare cards follows a distinct style that places the character or subject in a fully illustrated scene rather than a traditional card frame, making them visually striking in binders and displays.
• Supporter utility: Because Canari is a playable Supporter card, collectors who also play the game can appreciate both the functional and aesthetic value in a single purchase.
• Ascended Heroes set focus: Collectors building a complete Ascended Heroes master set will need this card, and purchasing as a single is a more targeted approach than opening packs hoping to pull it.

Condition and Grading

This listing is for a raw single card, meaning the card is ungraded and has not been submitted to a third-party grading service such as PSA or BGS. Raw cards are assessed visually and handled with care throughout the fulfilment process.

Condition terminology used across the Pokemon TCG singles market:

• Near Mint (NM): The card shows no visible wear under normal lighting. Edges, corners, and surface are clean with no significant marks or scratches. This is the standard condition expected for gameplay and is typically the baseline for grading submissions.
• Lightly Played (LP): Minor surface wear or very slight edge whitening may be present but does not affect the card’s readability or structural integrity.
• Moderately Played (MP): Visible wear including scratches, edge wear, or creasing. Still identifiable and usable but not ideal for grading submission.

If you are purchasing this card with the intention of submitting it for professional grading, a Canari 291 near mint raw copy is the appropriate starting point. Cards with visible wear prior to grading will typically receive lower grades, which affects their assessed value.

Cards are stored in a controlled environment and shipped in protective sleeves and rigid card savers to preserve condition during transit.

Shipping and Packaging

Every Pokemon TCG single card order is packaged to protect the card from bending, moisture, and surface damage in transit. Standard packaging includes a card sleeve, a rigid card saver or top loader, and secure outer packaging. This applies to all single card orders including the Canari 291/217.
