2020 Pokemon SWSH Full Art Charizard VMAX Darkness Ablaze #020 PSA 10 GEM MT
Price: $225.00
Charizard VMAX from Darkness Ablaze, ultra rare full art, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. That artwork? Charizard’s roaring mid-flight, wings ablaze against a stormy backdrop—hits like a classic dragon showdown, no frills.
Fire type with 330 HP, it’s a tank. Ability? None here, but attacks pack heat: Claw Slash for 130 with three energy, and the big one, G-Max Wildfire, slamming 300 damage while discarding two fire energy from itself. Straightforward beatdown material, perfect for those who like their ‘Zards to just burn everything down.
Darkness Ablaze dropped in 2020, part of the Sword & Shield era kicking off V and VMAX mechanics. This printing stands out because it’s one of the early full art VMAX cards, blending that modern holo shine with Charizard’s timeless appeal. Not the first ‘Zard VMAX, but this one’s got that dark, intense vibe from the set’s theme—think eternal rivals and shadowy evos. Collectors dig how it captures the essence of Gigantamax forms without overcomplicating things. Back then, packs were flying off shelves, and this card was a chase pull for anyone building fire decks or just hoarding lizard kings.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means edges sharp as a talon, surfaces clean without a whisper of whitening. Centering’s likely spot-on, maybe 55/45 or better, giving it that balanced eye appeal where the full art pops under lights. No print lines or haze to distract. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this #020 at around 2,500 last I checked—decent for such a fan-favorite, but not flooding the scene like some base set reprints.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to my other fire-types, letting it stare down the room like it owns the place.
