Gengar VMAX from the Fusion Strike set, ultra rare, in raw condition. This one’s got that shadowy vibe with Gengar looming large in a misty, ethereal scene, the holo pattern swirling around its grin like it’s about to pull off some ghostly prank. The artwork pops with deep purples and blacks, catching light in a way that makes the edges glow faintly under a lamp.
On the card text, it’s a Psychic-type with 320 HP. No Ability here, but attacks include Fear and Panic for 40 times the number of opponent’s Benched Pokémon—could rack up quick if they’re loaded up—and Poltergeist, which lets you look at your opponent’s hand and do 50 damage per Trainer card you spot there, after discarding an Energy. Weak to Darkness, resists Fighting, and retreats for three Energy. Solid for mind games in a deck built around disruption.
Fusion Strike dropped in late 2021, part of the Sword & Shield era where sets started blending mechanics like Fusion Strike cards with those rapid-draw vibes. Printing quirks? Yeah, these often show up with slight centering drifts—maybe the borders aren’t perfectly even, or the holo foil has a bit of curl from the factory. Raw copies from this set tend to have that fresh pack feel, but watch for minor stock inconsistencies, like how the card back might have subtle texture variations compared to earlier prints.
For raw condition, corners are sharp without dings, edges clean with no whitening or chipping from shuffling mishaps. Surface is smooth, free of scratches or print lines that sometimes sneak in on holos, and the holo flash is even, no clouding or uneven sheen that dulls the effect. Centering looks about 60/40 on the sides, typical for the set, with the artwork framed nicely without cutting off details.
Sleeve it up for a deck or let it chill in a binder—either way, it’s got that sneaky charm.
