Piplup is card #98 of Phantasmal Flames (2025), a Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Jiro Sasumo.
Piplup appears in 21 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Phantasmal Flames (2025) #98 card is the most recent of 21 printings (2007–2025). Jiro Sasumo only illustrated this Phantasmal Flames version; other printings credit sui, Mizue, Kouki Saitou. Other Piplup printings sit at Uncommon, Common, Promo, Rare Secret rarity tiers, so this Illustration Rare Phantasmal Flames card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 70 HP, while other Piplup cards in the catalogue range from 50 to 70 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Piplup hub page.

“A poor walker, it often falls down. However, its strong pride makes it puff up its chest without a care.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #393
The 1 in 234 pull chance is calculated from the Phantasmal Flames rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Piplup Phantasmal Flames #98 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $17.56 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 10 Pack Dust from the Phantasmal Flames dust pool, which fills as you open Phantasmal Flames packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Piplup or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
