Bisharp · Ascended Heroes, what to know.
About the Bisharp card
Bisharp sits at #147 in Ascended Heroes, released in April 2026. Ascended Heroes is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by Scav. In the games, Bisharp evolves from Pawniard, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.
The flavor text on the card reads: "Bisharp mercilessly cuts its opponents to pieces with the sharp blades covering its body. It will do anything to win." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.
Print variants and how to spot them
Ascended Heroes shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, Mega ex, Full Art, and Special Illustration prints. Mega ex cards are the headline rarity tier of the Mega Evolution era and use the new mega-treatment artwork distinct from standard ex cards.
Grading and condition
Modern Commons grade easily and trade thinly in graded condition. Raw pack-fresh copies are the practical buy for set completion. PSA 10 submissions on a Common from a modern set rarely return enough premium over raw to justify the service fee.
If you are buying this card
Raw copies of this card are inexpensive enough that the grading math rarely justifies submission unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completionists, picking up a clean raw copy and sleeving it is the practical move.
