Price: $268.22
That Tyranitar CHR from the Japanese VMAX Climax set, a full art holo character rare, locked in a PSA 10 slab. You know the one—S8b 204/184, where Tyranitar looms massive with that trainer vibe tying it all together.
The artwork? It’s got Tyranitar mid-roar, armored plates gleaming under some dramatic lighting, trainer peeking in like they’re about to drop a command. Simple but hits that monster energy right in the gut. No fluff, just raw power captured on card stock.
On the text side, it’s a Darkness-type with 170 HP. Ability-wise, it’s got “Mountain Hunt,” letting you search your deck for two cards and put them in your hand once per turn—handy for setup. Attacks include “Darkness Fang” for 120 damage, nothing too wild but solid for a Stage 2 evo from Pupitar. Weak to Grass, resists nothing, retreat cost of three. Plays like a tank that digs for resources.
VMAX Climax dropped in 2021, part of the Sword & Shield era in Japan, and this printing stands out because it’s a CHR—those character rares blending Pokémon with trainers in full art style, a fresh take that collectors started chasing hard. Not your basic holo; it’s got that extended border flair, pulling from Brilliant Stars vibes in English but staying true to Japanese roots. Tyranitar’s been a fan favorite since Neo Discovery, but this version amps the personality.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means edges sharp as a Larvitar’s bite, surfaces clean without a whisper of whitening. Centering? Dead on, probably 9.5 or better all around, with eye appeal that makes the holo pop under lights—those metallic shards scattering like Tyranitar’s just crushed a boulder. Pop report estimates hover around a couple hundred in 10s last I checked, but these CHR cards don’t flood the market, keeping things interesting for slab hunters.
I’d stash this one in a display case, maybe next to some old-school dark types for that evolution line nod.
