Pokémon Gengar VMAX Swsh08 Fusion Strike 157/264 Ultra Rare Full Art Holo
Pokémon Gengar VMAX Swsh08 Fusion Strike 157/264 Ultra Rare Full Art Holo
Price: $50.00
The Gengar VMAX from SWSH Black Star Promos, number SWSH08, sits as a promo rarity card in raw condition. This one’s got that shadowy vibe with Gengar looming large in a full-art style, all twisted and ghostly against a dark backdrop. The holo catches light like crazy, giving off these eerie purple gleams that shift when you tilt it just right.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with a solid 320 HP. Evolves from Gengar V, and its attacks pack a punch—Fear and Hide lets you force your opponent to discard down to three cards in hand for two Darkness energy, while G-Max Swallow slams for 250 damage with three Darkness energy, no extra effects but straight power. No ability here, just those straightforward moves that fit Gengar’s sneaky playstyle in battles.
This promo dropped back in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era tie-ins, often bundled in special boxes or events. Raw copies from these print runs sometimes show up with minor centering quirks, like the borders leaning a tad off on the left, or faint print lines in the holo foil if you’re inspecting under bright light. The card stock feels thick and durable, typical for promos, but watch for edge whitening if it’s been handled a bunch.
Diving into raw condition details, the corners on this one stay sharp without dings, edges run clean with no whitening or chips, and the surface is mostly smooth—maybe a tiny swirl or two from factory handling, but nothing deep. That holo flash remains vibrant, popping the artwork without any dull spots or scratches marring the foil. Centering looks about 60/40 on the sides, decent for a promo pull, and the back’s got that clean Pokémon logo without ink smudges.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
