The 2019 Pokemon SM Black Star Promo #SM193 Full Art Garchomp & Giratina GX in PSA 10. This tag team card brings together two heavy hitters from different generations, and it’s a promo that packs a punch in the Sun & Moon era.
The artwork shows Garchomp and Giratina in a dynamic clash, with Giratina’s shadowy form looming over Garchomp’s gritty stance. That distorted dimension vibe really pulls you in, like they’re about to warp the battlefield.
On the card text, it’s a Dragon type with 270 HP. The Ability is “Calamitous Slash,” letting you discard an Energy to do extra damage if your opponent’s Active is a TAG TEAM. Attacks include “GG End GX,” which knocks out two of your opponent’s Benched Pokemon, and the standard “Linear Attack” for 130. Solid setup for mind games in play.
This promo dropped in 2019 as part of the Tag Team Tin series, specifically the Garchomp & Giratina GX one. What stands out is how it was a tin-exclusive full art, not pulled from booster packs, so it dodged the mass production feel of main sets. Sun & Moon was winding down, pushing tag teams as the meta’s big twist before Sword & Shield shook things up. Collectors dig it for bridging Sinnoh legends with that promo scarcity.
In the slab, this PSA 10 example shines with sharp corners and clean edges—no surprises there for a gem mint. Centering looks balanced, maybe a hair towards the top but nothing distracting, and the foil pops without haze. Eye appeal is strong; the holo pattern on Giratina’s wings catches light just right. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, PSA 10s for this sit around 85 or so, keeping it on the rarer side for promos this era. Not flooded like some base set stuff.
I’d stash this in a display case next to other tag team beasts, just to relive those 2019 tourney vibes.
