Raihan from VSTAR Universe, that’s the Japanese SV2a set, clocks in as a Special Art Rare with full art holo flair, and we’re talking a clean raw copy here. This one’s got that supporter vibe, dishing out some timely recovery in your deck.
The artwork pops with Raihan mid-battle, dragons roaring in the background, and the holo pattern shimmers across the scene like sunlight on scales—tilts just right for that subtle glow.
As a supporter, you drop it only if one of your Pokémon got KO’d last turn by the opponent. Then, snag a basic Energy from your discard and attach it to one of your ‘mons. If that lands, dig through your deck for any card, slap it in hand, and shuffle up. No HP on this bad boy since it’s not a Pokémon, but it’s all about that comeback energy—pun intended.
Hit shelves in late 2022 as part of Japan’s VSTAR Universe, which pulled together reprints and fresh arts from the Sword & Shield era. Japanese prints like this often come with solid card stock, a bit thicker than English ones, but watch for those occasional centering shifts where the borders might lean a tad left or right. Holo sheets can show minor print lines if you’re picky, though most raw pulls hold up fine without factory hiccups.
For raw condition, this copy’s got sharp corners, no dings or whitening sneaking in. Edges are clean, straight as a ruler with zero chipping along the sides. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or scuffs that could dull the full art details, and that holo flash stays vibrant without any clouding or foil scratches. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, pretty standard for the set, keeping everything balanced enough for play or display.
Kinda funny how Raihan’s pose screams “let’s turn this around,” like he’s got your back in a pinch—sleeve it for the binder or grade it if you’re feeling bold.
