Arceus V 165/172 from Brilliant Stars, ultra rare full art, in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that cosmic vibe with Arceus floating in a starry void, all majestic and ready to rewrite the rules. The full art spreads edge to edge, with the holo foil popping under any light source, giving it a subtle shimmer that draws your eye right to the center.
On the card text side, it’s a colorless type with 220 HP. The ability is Starbirth—during your turn, you can search your deck for up to two cards and put them into your hand, then shuffle. Attacks include Trinity Charge for three energy: search your deck for up to three basic energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon V however you like, then shuffle. Weakness to fighting, no resistance, retreat cost of two. It’s a powerhouse for setups, letting you ramp up energy fast or grab key pieces mid-game.
Brilliant Stars dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, blending VSTAR mechanics with radiant Pokémon. This Arceus V is from the main set, card 165 out of 172, and raw copies often show up with decent centering—think 60/40 splits on the borders sometimes, but the print quality holds up well compared to earlier sets. Edges might have minor factory roughness, but nothing that screams wear. The card stock is that sturdy modern feel, not too thin, with the holo layer embedded deep enough to avoid easy scratches.
In this NM raw state, corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without whitening, and the surface is smooth, free of major scratches or dents. The holo flash is vibrant, catching reflections without haze, and the back’s got that standard Pokémon blue swirl, no creases or marks. Centering looks solid here, maybe a hair off on the bottom but balanced overall. It’s the kind of copy you’d pull from a fresh pack and think, yeah, this one’s a keeper.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s got that eternal creator energy.
