Raihan (Full Art) – Evolving Skies Near Mint Pokemon TCG
Price: $16.33
Raihan from Evolving Skies, the full art version, sitting in near mint raw condition. This one’s got that striking artwork with Raihan striking a pose in a stormy desert scene, his Flygon looming large behind him, all dramatic with swirling sands and a fierce vibe that pops under the lights. The holo foil on this full art really catches the eye, giving those metallic accents a subtle gleam without overwhelming the details.
As a Supporter card, it’s straightforward but handy: you can play it only if one of your Pokémon got KO’d last turn by your opponent. Then, attach a basic Energy from your discard to one of your Pokémon, and if you do that, search your deck for any card and add it to your hand, shuffling afterward. No HP here since it’s a Trainer, but it’s typed as a colorless supporter with that metal theme tying into Raihan’s gym leader style from the Galar region.
Evolving Skies dropped back in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era, packed with Eeveelution vibes and dragon types. This full art Raihan is from the secret rare portion, card number 199/203 or sometimes listed as 199a depending on the print run. Raw copies from this set often show up with minor centering quirks—think a slight shift to the left on the borders, or sometimes a touch of print line on the holo sheet. The card stock is that standard SWSH thickness, holding up well but prone to edge wear if not sleeved right away. Centering on this one looks solid, maybe 60/40 top-bottom, which is decent for raw pulls.
Diving into the condition details, corners are sharp with no dings, just that factory-fresh pointiness. Edges feel smooth, no whitening or chipping along the sides, though you might spot a tiny fiber here or there from pack opening. Surface is clean, free of scratches or dents, and the holo flash is vibrant without any clouding or foil scratches that plague some Evolving Skies holos. Back is pristine too, no print defects or residue.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s got that collector appeal.
