Budew – Art Rare 196/193 | MEGA Dream ex (M2a) | Japanese Pokémon Card 2025

The tiniest bud of the Roserade line — in full-art bloom. The Budew Art Rare (AR) 196/193 from the Japanese High Class Pack MEGA Dream ex (M2a) features a charming full-art holofoil illustration by Yoko Hishida that captures Budew's delicate, sprout-like cuteness in a warm, nature-inspired composition exclusive to the Japanese release.

A Grass-type Basic with 70 HP, Budew is the pre-evolution of Roselia and ultimately Roserade — one of the most elegant and beloved Grass/Poison-type lines in the Sinnoh Pokédex. Yoko Hishida is known for warmly illustrated, character-driven Pokémon artwork, and the Budew AR reflects that style perfectly — a soft, heartfelt piece that appeals immediately to collectors who love nature-themed full-art cards. 

Available only inside random booster packs of the MEGA Dream ex series released in Japan in November 2025 at very low pull odds, the Budew AR is one of the most endearing pulls in the set — consistently praised for its warmth and charm

MEGA Dream ex (M2a) contains 20 Art Rares with a guaranteed pull rate of 3 per booster box — making the Budew AR a sought-after pick for Grass-type collectors and Sinnoh nostalgics alike.
