Pokémon TCG Cynthia’s Ambition 169/172 Brilliant Stars Trainer Full Art Holo
Price: $13.00
Cynthia’s Ambition from Brilliant Stars, card number 169/172, clocks in as an Ultra Rare Full Art Trainer with that supporter flair. We’re talking a clean raw copy here, straight from the pack without any grading bells and whistles. The artwork shows Cynthia standing tall with her Garchomp and Lucario, all poised in a dramatic scene that pops under the lights— the holo foil spreads across the whole card, giving it this subtle shimmer that shifts as you tilt it, like sunlight bouncing off a Poké Ball.
As a Supporter, you play it during your turn and draw cards until you’ve got five in hand. But if none of your Pokémon got knocked out on your opponent’s last turn, you ramp it up and draw until you hit eight instead. No HP to worry about, just pure draw power that can swing a game if timed right. It’s got that clean text box at the bottom, with the illustrator credit to nagimiso—simple, effective, and no extra fluff.
Brilliant Stars dropped back in 2022, part of the Sword & Shield block, and it’s one of those sets where the full arts really shine in the trainer lineup. Printing-wise, these cards often come with decent stock quality, but raw copies can show minor centering shifts—maybe a touch off on the borders if you’re picky. Edges might have that factory-fresh whiteness, though some packs spit out ones with tiny whitening from the cut. Surfaces are usually smooth, but watch for light scratches on the holo layer if it’s been handled without care. Corners stay sharp in a good pull, no dings or bends, and the overall flash holds up well without clouding.
Hunting these in raw form means checking for that crisp registration; the colors on Cynthia’s outfit and her Pokémon’s details should align without bleed. It’s a solid piece for any deck builder who digs the competitive edge, or just for the display shelf. Sleeve it up before it gathers dust, or let it sit pretty in a binder—up to you.
