Torchic MEP 056 value & price guide
Torchic MEP 056 is the fire-type Hoenn starter promo from First Partner Illustration Collection Series 3. Match this collector number before comparing a listing with another Torchic printing.
Image status: The available art is the matching Japanese M-P preview. Pokémon’s official promo list confirms the English MEP 056 identity; confirm English card text when an English catalog scan is available.
What is Torchic MEP 056 worth?
The earliest Cardmarket trend visible to MonZap on August 7 was €18.90. Treat that as a release-day signal, not a settled market value. A small number of presale or first-day records can make the displayed trend look more certain than the actual market.
Recheck live offers, sold evidence, shipping, language, and condition before buying or trading. The English MEP printing and the Japanese M-P artwork preview are related releases, but they are not interchangeable marketplace products.
Torchic MEP 056 card details
This is one of nine illustration rare-style promos distributed through Series 3. Each box contains one sealed three-card regional trio, so the Hoenn group travels together but one box does not contain all nine promos.

How this page is verified
Pokémon’s official promotional-card legality list names Torchic as MEP 056. Target’s live product page confirms the August 7 street date and Series 3 box contents.
The early euro trend links to Cardmarket. Artwork is shown from the corresponding Japanese preview and is labeled so it cannot be mistaken for an English scan.

These three cards share the regional illustration sequence distributed in the same sealed promo pack.
Torchic MEP 056 questions
Is Torchic MEP 056 in every Series 3 box?
No. Each box contains one sealed regional trio from Hoenn, Kalos, or Paldea. Torchic appears in the Hoenn trio.
Is €18.90 the guaranteed value?
No. It is an early Cardmarket trend observed on release day. Sparse supply, condition, language, shipping, and new box openings can change the usable comparison quickly.
Why is the card image in Japanese?
The Japanese M-P artwork preview was the clearest verified image available when this page shipped. The English identity comes from Pokémon’s official MEP 056 listing, and the language difference remains clearly labeled.
