2022 POKEMON SWORD & SHIELD SILVER TEMPEST #TG20 FULL ART/RAYQUAZA VMAX PSA 10
Price: $524.95
Rayquaza VMAX from Silver Tempest, that’s the TG20 full art version, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s a beast in the Trainer Gallery subset, where they mix in those crossover vibes with trainers and Pokémon.
The artwork? Rayquaza’s coiled up in the sky, all emerald scales and fierce eyes, with that dramatic storm backdrop. It captures the legendary dragon’s raw power without overdoing it, like it’s about to unleash chaos on the battlefield.
Card text keeps it straightforward: Dragon type, 320 HP. Ability is Azure Pulse, letting you discard the top three cards of your deck to draw until you have six in hand—handy for cycling through energy. Attacks? Explosive Vortex does 120 plus 100 more if you discard a Fire or Lightning energy, and Max Burst hits for 20 plus 100 per energy attached, up to a massive swing. It’s built for those high-risk, high-reward plays that can turn a game around.
Silver Tempest dropped in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era, wrapping up that block with a bang. This printing stands out because it’s the Trainer Gallery full art, blending Rayquaza with a subtle trainer element in the illustration—different from the standard VMAX arts. It was one of those chase cards in packs, pulling from the Japanese Incandescent Arcana set, and it fits right into decks loving big dragons or VSTAR/VMAX mechanics before the Scarlet & Violet shift.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means flawless edges, corners sharp as ever, and surfaces clean with no whitening. Centering’s likely spot-on, giving it that balanced eye appeal where the borders frame the art just right. Pop reports show around 1,200 PSA 10s out there last I checked, not the rarest but still a solid number for collectors hunting gems from this set. The holo pattern pops under light, making the dragon’s form almost glow.
I’d stash this one in a display case where it can stare down the rest of the collection, like the sky guardian it is.
