CGC 10 Gem Mint Rayquaza Swsh029 Pokemon Black Star Promos

Price: $40.00

Rayquaza SWSH029 from the Pokémon Black Star Promos, sitting pretty in a CGC 10 Gem Mint slab. This one’s a promo rarity, no doubt about it.

The artwork shows Rayquaza coiled up in the sky, all fierce and ready to strike— that serpentine pose just hits different, with those clouds swirling around like it’s owning the atmosphere.

On the card text, it’s a Dragon type with 120 HP. Ability? None here, but attacks include Dragon Pulse for some solid damage, and it’s got that weakness to Fairy types, resistance to none, retreat cost of two. Keeps it straightforward for battles.

This printing dropped in 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield era promos, handed out in various promo packs or events. What stands out is how it captures Rayquaza’s legendary vibe without the shiny treatment—it’s the standard version, but man, it pops in a collection next to its flashier cousins from sets like Shining Fates. Black Star Promos like this one bridge the gap between main sets, giving collectors something exclusive without the full expansion hassle.

Slab-wise, CGC 10 means perfection across the board: centering spot-on at probably 10/10, edges crisp, corners sharp as a Tackle attack, and surface flawless—no whitening or print defects to speak of. Eye appeal is high with that vibrant green and blue color scheme shining through the acrylic. As for pop, from what I’ve seen in reports, CGC has graded a handful in 10—maybe around 50 or so last I checked, but these promos don’t flood the market like base set stuff, so it’s not overflowing.

I’d stash this one on a shelf where the light catches it just right, maybe next to some Hoenn legends for that nostalgic lineup.
