Price: $97.26
Origin Forme Palkia V from Astral Radiance, card number 167 out of 189, hits as an ultra rare full art alt art pull, and this one’s in raw near mint condition. The artwork shows Palkia in its origin forme, all twisted space-time vibes with those pearl accents and watery distortions swirling around, giving off a cosmic depth that pulls you in when you tilt it under light. It’s a water type with 220 HP, carrying the V rule where it counts as two prize cards when knocked out. The ability is Star Portal, letting you attach up to three water energy from discard to your Pokémon during your turn, which sets up some serious plays. Attacks include Subspace Swell at 60 plus 20 more for each benched Pokémon on both sides, and it needs two water and one colorless energy to fire off.
Astral Radiance dropped back in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Star Birth set, and these alt arts were chase cards with that radiant Pokémon theme tying into Dialga and Palkia lore. Raw copies often show up with minor centering quirks—maybe a slight off-center holo foil on the borders, or the card stock feeling a tad thicker than base sets, which can lead to edge wear if not handled right. Printing runs had some variance, so you might spot tiny factory lines on the back, but nothing that kills the appeal.
In this raw near mint state, corners are sharp without dings, edges clean and white with no whitening or chips creeping in. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or clouding, and the holo flash pops vividly across Palkia’s form without any dull spots or print defects. Centering looks solid, about 60/40 on the sides, which is decent for these pulls straight from packs.
Sleeve it up for your deck or let it chill in a binder—either way, it’s got that space-bending flair.
