Glaceon VMAX 209 from Sword & Shield Evolving Skies, secret rare alternate full art in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that sleek alt art vibe where Glaceon perches on icy crystals under a starry sky, and the holo pattern spreads out like frost creeping across a window on a cold night. You can see the illustrator really leaned into those cool blues and whites, making the whole card pop when light hits it just right.
On the card text side, it’s a water-type VMAX with 310 HP. Evolves from Glaceon V, and it’s got the VMAX rule where if it’s knocked out, your opponent takes three prize cards. The big attack is Max Icicle for two water and one colorless energy—deals 150 damage straight to one of your opponent’s Pokémon, and you skip weakness and resistance if it’s hitting the bench. No ability listed, but that direct bench snipe can shift a game quick if you’re running a water deck. Weak to metal, resists nothing, retreat cost of two.
Evolving Skies dropped back in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from Japanese sets like Eevee Heroes. This alt art version is from the secret rare slots, numbered 209/203, and raw copies often show up with decent centering out of packs, though some have that slight off-center holo bleed that’s common in the set’s print run. Edges might have minor factory roughness, but nothing that screams wear. The card stock feels solid, typical for SWSH prints—thicker than older stuff, with a subtle texture that holds up well in sleeves.
In this NM raw state, corners are sharp with no dings or rounding, edges clean without whitening or chips, surface free of scratches or print lines, and the holo flash is bright and even, no clouding or haze. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for these, with no major miscuts. It’s the kind of copy you’d pull and immediately think about building an Eeveelution deck around. Sleeve it up for a casual tourney or let it chill in a binder—either way, it’s ready to freeze out some opponents.
