Arceus V (Alternate Full Art) 166/172 Swsh09: Brilliant Stars Holo Pokemon
Price: $55.00
Arceus V from the Brilliant Stars set, that’s the alternate full art version numbered 166/172, ultra rare, and we’re talking raw condition here—no slab, just straight from the pack. This one’s got that expansive artwork showing Arceus in a cosmic burst, with swirling energies and a mythical vibe that fills the whole card. The holo pattern dances across the scene, picking up light in a way that makes the colors pop without overwhelming the details.
On the card text side, it’s a Basic Pokémon V, Colorless type with 220 HP. No Ability listed, but its attacks pack a punch: Trinity Charge lets you search your deck for up to three basic Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon V in any way, then shuffle—costs nothing but you have to discard a card from your hand. Then Power Edge does 130 damage for three Energy, straightforward beatdown. V rule applies, of course, so when it’s Knocked Out, your opponent takes two Prize cards.
Brilliant Stars dropped in early 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Star Birth set. Raw copies often show up with decent centering, but watch for those factory edges that can have minor whitening right out of the booster. The card stock is the standard glossy holo foil from that period, sturdy enough but prone to surface scratches if not handled carefully—common quirk in mass-produced sets like this.
For raw condition specifics, assume a clean pull: corners sharp with no dings, edges smooth without noticeable wear, surface free of major scratches or print lines, and that holo flash intact, giving it a subtle sheen under angled light. Centering might hover around 60/40 on the borders, typical for these alt arts, but the artwork alignment feels balanced overall. No major defects like creases or bends, making it a solid raw piece for any collection.
Kinda funny how Arceus just floats there like it’s judging your deck-building skills—sleeve it up or let it chill raw, up to you.
