Price: $230.70
Rayquaza VMAX from VMAX Climax, numbered 120/184, in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s a Japanese printing, pulling from that high-energy set with a ton of character flair.
The artwork shows Rayquaza coiled up in the sky, all emerald and fierce, with those red accents popping against a stormy backdrop. It’s got that dynamic vibe, like it’s about to unleash chaos mid-battle.
On the card text side, it’s a Dragon type with 320 HP. No Ability here, but the attacks pack a punch: Azure Pulse does 210 damage and discards the top three cards of your opponent’s deck if you have a VMAX Pokémon in play, and Max Burst hits for 120 plus 20 more for each Energy attached to both Active Pokémon. Solid for aggressive decks that build up quick.
VMAX Climax dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era in Japan, basically a massive high-end set compiling hits from previous releases with new art styles. This Rayquaza stands out because it’s not just another VMAX—it’s got that clean, modern illustration that ties into the set’s theme of blending old favorites with fresh twists. Collectors dig how it fits into the broader Rayquaza lineage, from older EX cards to these beefed-up VMAX forms. The Japanese version often has sharper print quality, which helps in grading.
Slab-wise, this PSA 10 means pristine corners, edges without a nick, and surfaces that look untouched. Centering is spot-on, usually around 50/50 or better on these, giving it killer eye appeal under lights—the holo pattern shimmers without overwhelming the art. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, PSA has graded a couple hundred of these in 10, keeping it relatively scarce for such a popular dragon.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches that coil just right, maybe next to some other legendaries for contrast.
