Price: $75.00
Rayquaza VMAX from Evolving Skies, card number 111/203, ultra rare, slabbed at BGS 9.5. This one’s a beast in the slab world. The artwork shows Rayquaza twisting through stormy skies, coils glowing with that intense emerald energy—like it’s about to unleash chaos on the battlefield. Hits different every time I see it.
On the card text side, it’s a Dragon type with 320 HP. Ability is Azure Pulse: once per turn, discard the top three cards of your deck and draw until you have six cards in hand. Solid for cycling through your setup. Attacks include Max Burst—discard up to two basic Lightning or Fire Energy from it, and this attack does 20 damage plus 100 more for each Energy discarded. Straightforward power move that can swing games if you’re running energy acceleration.
Evolving Skies dropped in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield series. What makes this printing stand out? It’s from a set loaded with Eeveelution VMAX cards, but Rayquaza crashes the party as a non-Eevee chase. The set’s theme revolves around sky-high evolutions and dragon vibes, and this Rayquaza fits right in with its mega-evolved form. Compared to earlier Rayquaza cards, like the ones from Dragons Exalted or Roaring Skies, this version amps up the VMAX mechanics for modern play. Collectors dig it for that clean evolution line from Rayquaza V, and it’s a staple in decks that love big damage output without much setup fuss.
For the slab, BGS 9.5 means it’s got strong subs—probably 9.5 or 10 on centering, edges crisp, corners sharp, surface clean. Eye appeal is top-notch with that vibrant holo pattern popping under lights, no whitening or print lines messing it up. Pop-wise, from what I’ve seen in reports, BGS 9.5 for this card sits around the low hundreds, way scarcer than PSA equivalents. Makes it a solid piece for any dragon-focused collection.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to my other mythicals, just to watch it loom over the rest.
