2019 POKEMON SM BLACK STAR PROMO #SM193 FULL ART/GARCHOMP & GIRATINA GX PSA 10
2019 POKEMON SM BLACK STAR PROMO #SM193 FULL ART/GARCHOMP & GIRATINA GX PSA 10
Price: $399.95
Garchomp & Giratina GX from SM Black Star Promos, #SM193. This one’s a full art ultra rare, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab.
The artwork shows these two legends teaming up in a chaotic clash—Garchomp’s gritty earth vibes mixing with Giratina’s shadowy distortion world energy. That dynamic duo pose just pulls you in, like they’re about to warp reality mid-battle.
On the card text side, it’s a Dragon type with 270 HP. Ability is Linear Attack, letting you snipe bench Pokémon for some sneaky damage. Attacks include Calamitous Slash for big hits if your opponent’s got a hurt active, and the GX move, GG End GX, which benches an opponent’s Pokémon and attaches energies—total game-changer in a pinch. Weak to Fairy, resists nothing, retreat cost of three. Standard Tag Team rules apply, so prize cards galore when it goes down.
This promo dropped in 2019 as part of the Sun & Moon era’s black star lineup, tied to the Hidden Fates set vibes but standalone. What makes this printing stand out is the exclusive full art treatment—those holo patterns pop under light, and it’s not from a main expansion, so it feels like a special pull from promo packs or tins. Collectors dig it for bridging Garchomp’s Gen 4 roots with Giratina’s mythical status, especially since Tag Teams were a short-lived mechanic that added wild strategy layers.
In the slab, PSA 10 means flawless edges, corners sharp as Garchomp’s claws, and centering that’s dead on—eye appeal is through the roof with that vibrant color saturation and no print lines messing things up. Pop reports put perfect 10s in the low hundreds last I checked, but these can fluctuate as more get graded. It’s the kind of card that holds up well under scrutiny, no whitening or haze to spoil the view.
I’d frame this one next to my Distortion World playset—feels like staring into another dimension.
