About this deal

Yes, the pastelly palette is a little offputting at first, giving this a slight look of Baby’s First Pokémon Card. Crown Zenith is largely based on Japan's VSTAR Universe, which was a reprint set with a large Secret Rare section that introduced two new card types: Art Rares and Special Art Rares Art Rares are much like Character Rares but they do not show Pokémon with Trainers, rather showing them in their environments or sometimes[. The veteran artist has a history of creating cards of Gen 1 Pokémon, such as the recently released Alternate Art Charizard V from February's Pokémon Brilliant Stars TCG expansion. Although the new Art Rare variants are the only new cards to be revealed so far for VSTAR Universe, retail listings have confirmed the special set will also include re-prints from previous Pokémon Sword and Shield TCG sets as well.

The best Pokémon TCG cards aren't the most valuable, more often than not, and instead limited-time releases or stand-out designs garner significant attention from players.Although, of course, this became one of the most important cards in the meta when it was first released ( in a very plain form) in Astral Radiance, adding the game-changing Ability to resist all damage from the far-too dominant V cards. Special Art Rare Pokémon featuring Leafeon VSTAR, Charizard V, Charizard VSTAR, Entei V, Simisear VSTAR, Suicune V, Lumineon V, Glaceon VSTAR, Raikou V, Zeraora VMAX, Zeraora VSTAR, Mewtwo VSTAR, Deoxys VMAX, Deoxys VSTAR, Hatterene VMAX, Zacian V, Lucario V, Drapion V, Darkrai V, Hisuian Samurott V, Hisuian Samurott VSTAR, Hoopa V, Zamazenta V, Regigigas VSTAR, Hisuian Zoroark VSTAR.

Yuu Nishida has been responsible for some of the most striking Pokémon cards in recent years, following her win of the first Pokémon Card Game Illustration Grand Prix in 2019. The set will celebrate the iconic battle mechanic introduced with the Sword and Shield series, VSTAR, along with various other popular cards that were released during the series’ duration and a few new additions. As the name might imply, Trainer's cards feature trainers from throughout the Pokémon series, and Energy cards provide players with energy of various different types. As far as Special Art Rare Pokémon cards, there's just a dozen less in VSTAR Universe compared to the amount of Art Rares in the set.

Surely, with this collection, there’s a case for clean prints of these cards with all the text removed? But get past that, and just study the wealth of detail here from another 2022-starting illustrator, zig. While the collection brings reruns of some of the most valuable Pokémon TCG cards of 2022, some of its highlights are the never-before-seen Secret Rare cards.
