Iris's Fighting Spirit - 292/217 - ME: Ascended Heroes (ASC)
Iris's Fighting Spirit — 292/217 Special Illustration Rare is one of the most visually compelling Supporter cards in Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Ascended Heroes. Iris, the Dragon-type Gym Leader and Unova Champion, gets the full SIR treatment here with artwork by Kuroimori — and the result is exactly the kind of piece that stops a binder flip cold.
This card lands in a set built for the history books. Ascended Heroes released January 30, 2026 and stands as the largest Pokémon TCG expansion ever printed in English, spanning 295 cards with 78 Secret Rares. The SIR slot is among the hardest pulls in the set — just 22 Special Illustration Rares exist across the entire expansion, split between Pokémon and Supporter cards.
The card functions as a Trainer–Supporter with a high-upside draw effect: discard one card, then draw until you hold six. As a competitive piece tied to a beloved Unova character, it carries crossover appeal for players and collectors alike.
