Arceus V Alternate Full Art from Brilliant Stars, that’s the ultra rare at 166/172, sitting in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that majestic vibe with Arceus looming over a starry cosmic scene, all in full art style that lets the colors pop without borders crowding it. The holo pattern weaves through the background like distant galaxies flickering, catching light in a subtle shimmer that draws your eye every time you tilt it.
On the card text side, it’s a colorless type Pokémon V with 220 HP. Its ability is Starbirth, letting you search your deck for a Pokémon Tool and shuffle after—handy for setup plays. Attacks include Trinity Nova for 200 damage, plus you can grab up to three basic Energy from your deck and attach them to your Pokémon V in any way. Solid for decks that need quick energy ramping without typing restrictions.
Brilliant Stars dropped in early 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese VSTAR Universe set with a mix of V, VSTAR, and those alternate arts that collectors chase. Raw copies from this print run often show up with decent centering, though some have minor whitening on edges from factory handling, and the card stock feels thick but prone to slight surface scratches if not sleeved right away. Centering here looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for the set without any wild offsets.
For raw details, corners are sharp with no dings, just the tiniest fuzz on one if you squint. Edges hold up clean, minimal whitening along the sides, and the surface is smooth without scratches or print lines marring the art. That holo flash is even across the foil sections, no clouding or dull spots to spoil it. Overall, it’s a clean pull that’d fit right into a binder or deck without fuss.
Kinda fun how Arceus just stares out like it’s judging your collection—better give it a good home.
