Market outlook
Rising Outlook 8/10
The card is a top chase item in the Perfect Order set with strong collector interest and very low supply. As the set gains traction and more cards are graded, demand for high-grade copies will continue to increase[2][5].
Next months. Over the next 3–6 months, prices for graded 10 copies are expected to rise 10–15% as more collectors enter the market and grading volume increases[7].
Long term. In 1–3 years, the card is likely to become a staple in high-end collections, with graded 10 copies potentially reaching $2,000–$2,500 due to sustained demand and scarcity[7].
History
Clefairy (Japanese: ピッピ Pippi) is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon, known as the 'Star Shape' Pokémon. According to lore, the moonlight stored in the wings on its back gives it the ability to float in midair. It is a popular Pokémon in the franchise, often appearing as a companion to trainers and featuring in key game and anime moments[1].
The Clefairy card was first released as part of the Perfect Order expansion, which was first released in the Japanese Nihil Zero expansion. The Regular print was the initial version, followed by the Full Art Illustration Rare print[1].
- The card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art Illustration Rare in the Perfect Order expansion[1].
- The Regular print features artwork by Natsumi Yoshida, while the Full Art Illustration Rare print features artwork by Cona Nitanda[1].

Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge wear, corner dings, print defects, and surface scratches. The Full Art variant is particularly sensitive to gloss damage and micro-abrasions. Common flaws include off-centering and slight printing misalignments on the art borders[4].
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader with a soft inner sleeve, kept in a sealed blister case. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity. For long-term preservation, use a climate-controlled environment and consider graded or graded grading for secure storage[4].
Authenticity. Fakes often lack the proper holographic pattern, have blurry text, or incorrect font styles. The Full Art version should have a distinct metallic sheen and precise artwork alignment. Verify the card number (094/088) and set code (ME03) against official sources. Authentication through graded, graded, or Beckett is recommended for high-value copies[4].
