2022 POKEMON SWORD & SHIELD SILVER TEMPEST #138 LUGIA V PSA 10

Price: $137.00

Lugia V from Silver Tempest, ultra rare, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s the full art version, card number 138 out of 195. You know, the kind that grabs your eye right away.

That artwork? Lugia bursting through stormy skies, wings flared wide like it’s about to unleash chaos. The silver borders tie into the set’s tempest theme, with those swirling winds and dark clouds making the legendary bird look unstoppable. It’s got that classic Lugia vibe, majestic and a bit mysterious.

On the card text side, it’s a colorless type with 210 HP. Ability is Reassemble—shuffle up to two Pokémon and two basic Energy from your discard pile back into your deck. Attacks include Aero Dive for 130 damage, which doesn’t affect bench, and a basic Gust for 40. Solid for V decks, especially if you’re building around flyers or need some recursion.

Silver Tempest dropped in late 2022, wrapping up the Sword & Shield era before Scarlet & Violet took over. This printing stands out because it’s part of the Lugia archetype push, with VSTAR support and ties to the Lost Zone mechanic. Not the first Lugia V, but this one’s from a set loaded with radiant Pokémon and alternate arts, making it a fresh take on the Johto legend. Collectors dig how it bridges old-school nostalgia with modern playstyles—Lugia’s been a fan favorite since the movies, and this card captures that essence without overdoing it.

In the slab, PSA 10 means gem mint all around: edges sharp, surface clean, no whitening. Centering’s likely dead on, maybe 50/50 or better, giving it killer eye appeal under lights. The colors pop without any print lines messing things up. Pop reports show around 1,500 graded 10s last I checked, but that’s just from widely reported estimates—modern sets like this see a ton of submissions, so it’s not ultra-scarce, but finding one this clean feels like a win.

I’d stash this in my display case next to other legendaries, just to remind myself why I got into collecting.
