Giratina V 185/196 Swsh11: Lost Origin Ultra Rare Full Art Holo Basic Dragon
Price: $100.00
Giratina V from the SWSH Black Star Promos set, promo rarity, in raw condition. This one’s numbered SWSH11, a full art holo that captures the Renegade Pokémon in its Altered Forme, all twisted up in that shadowy Distorted World vibe. The artwork shows Giratina looming with those red eyes and tentacle wings, background swirling like a nightmare portal, and the holo catches light like crazy, giving it that eerie depth when you tilt it just right.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Dragon type with 220 HP. No Ability here, but the attacks keep it simple and strategic: Shred costs two Colorless for 60 damage, and it punches through any effects on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. Then there’s Abyss Seek for Grass and Psychic energy— no damage, but you peek at the top four cards of your deck, snag two for your hand, and dump the other two into the Lost Zone. Standard V rule applies, so when it’s Knocked Out, your opponent grabs two Prize cards. Solid for decks built around Lost Zone mechanics, where banishing cards sets up bigger plays later.
This promo dropped in 2022, tied to the Sword & Shield era, often coming from tins or special collections. Raw copies from these printings tend to have decent stock quality, but watch for common quirks like off-centering—full arts like this can skew left or right on the borders, and the holo sheet sometimes shows factory lines if you’re picky. Edges might have minor chipping straight from the pack, especially if it’s been shuffled around in a box.
For raw condition, hunt for those sharp corners without dings, clean edges free of whitening or nicks, and a surface that’s scratch-free with no print defects. Centering ideally sits around 60/40 or better to avoid that lopsided look, and the holo flash should pop strong under light, no dull spots from handling. Back side usually holds up well, but check for any ink smudges or curl from humidity.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
