Notably, this is one of the very few Pok\u00e9mon cards which does not have a weakness, allowing it to last longer in play than most other Pok\u00e9mon. Its Jet Cruise ability also negates retreat costs of all of the player&#8217;s Pok\u00e9mon in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aesthetically speaking, Sanosuke Sakuma&#8217;s illustration truly captures Dragonite&#8217;s free-spirited nature as it glides on its back through the sky without a care in the world. Finally, this card comes in the Master Ball Mirror iteration\u2014meaning that faded images of the Master Ball can be seen across the card, providing a sense of prestige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card has had an English launch as card 149\/165 of the 151 [MEW] set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current prices peg the Dragonite Master Ball Mirror (Pok\u00e9mon Card 151 [SV2a] 149\/165) card at \u00a515,500 (~US$104) per card.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/06\/one-piece-card-game-tony-tony-chopper-sp-is-its-sets-biggest-pull-extra-booster-memorial-collection-eb01-006\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Tony Chopper SP card from the Extra Booster Memorial Collection [EB01]<\/a>.&nbsp;Alternatively, you can also head over to the SNKRDUNK App via the banner below and find the top trending and latest single cards and boxes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunkappen.page.link\/G4g7_PokemonTCG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151767\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15110337\/TCG.webp\" alt=\"TCG on the SNKRDUNK App\" width=\"970\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the original Dragon-type Pok\u00e9mon\u2014probably the most romanticized of all 18 Pok\u00e9mon types\u2014Dragonite occupies a special place in the Pok\u00e9mon canon&#8217;s lore.
