Price: $340.00
Garchomp & Giratina GX from the 2019 Pokémon SM Black Star Promo set, #SM193, full art version, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This tag team card brings that gritty duo energy right off the bat.
The artwork shows Garchomp and Giratina mid-roar, with those jagged lines and shadowy vibes that make the full art pop without trying too hard. It’s got that underground lair feel, like they’re about to unleash chaos on the battlefield.
On the text side, it’s a Dragon-type with 270 HP. The Ability is Calamitous Slash, letting you discard an Energy from your opponent’s Active Pokémon if you go second and attack. Attacks include Linear Attack for 40 damage to any opponent’s Pokémon, and GG End GX, which knocks out an opponent’s Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX and discards all attached cards—plus an extra prize if you have the right Energy setup. Solid mechanics for a promo that packs a punch in tag team formats.
This one dropped in 2019 as part of the Sun & Moon era promos, specifically tied to the Cosmic Eclipse prerelease events or special bundles. What stands out is how it captures the tag team craze at its peak, blending Garchomp’s ground-shaking power with Giratina’s otherworldly distortion theme. Not your everyday base set pull; these promos were more event-driven, making them a bit scarcer in the wild compared to main expansions.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means edges are sharp, corners pristine, and surface clean as a whistle. Centering looks balanced, with strong eye appeal from the holo foil that catches light just right without overwhelming the art. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, the PSA 10 count hovers around 180 or so—definitely not flooding the scene, but enough to chase without going extinct.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the full art can stare down anyone walking by, maybe next to other tag team heavies for that promo wall vibe.
