POKEMON JAPANESE SWORD & SHIELD VSTAR UNIVERSE FULL ART/DARKRAI VSTAR PSA 10
POKEMON JAPANESE SWORD & SHIELD VSTAR UNIVERSE FULL ART/DARKRAI VSTAR PSA 10
Price: $300.00
Darkrai VSTAR from the Japanese Sword & Shield VSTAR Universe set, full art rarity, slabbed in a PSA 10. This one’s got that shadowy vibe nailed down. The artwork shows Darkrai looming in a starry void, claws extended like it’s pulling nightmares from the ether. That ethereal glow around it really pulls you in, with the full art treatment letting the dark blues and purples bleed right to the edges.
On the card text side, it’s a Darkness type with 270 HP. The VSTAR Power is Star Abyss, letting you grab two Item cards from your discard pile – handy for recycling those key tools mid-game. Attacks include Dark Pulse for 40 plus 180 more if your opponent’s Active has an Ability, and the basic VSTAR attack setup. It’s built for disruption, fitting Darkrai’s lore as the pitch-black Pokémon that traps foes in endless sleep.
VSTAR Universe dropped in late 2022, a Japanese exclusive that’s basically a greatest-hits compilation with stunning new artworks and reprints from the Sword & Shield era. This Darkrai printing stands out because it’s not just a standard VSTAR; the full art version amps up the mythical feel, drawing from the Pokémon’s Diamond & Pearl origins while tying into modern V mechanics. Collectors dig how it bridges generations, especially with Darkrai’s fan-favorite status in competitive play and anime appearances.
For the slab, PSA 10 means flawless edges, corners sharp as a nightmare’s edge, and surface without a single blemish. Centering looks dead-on, splitting those borders evenly for max eye appeal – the colors pop under the case without any print lines distracting. Pop reports show these in PSA 10 are on the rarer side, with estimates around a couple hundred graded that high last I checked, given the set’s premium pull rates.
I’d stash this one in a shadowbox, letting it brood on the shelf like it’s guarding the collection.
