Origin Forme Palkia V (Alternate Full Art) 167/189 Swsh10: Astral Radiance Holo
Price: $85.00
Palkia V from the SWSH Black Star Promos, numbered SWSH10, comes as an ultra rare holo in raw condition, straight from the pack with that promo vibe. This one’s got artwork showing Palkia in a dynamic pose, the holo catching light like crazy across its spatial distortions and watery effects. It’s a Water type with 220 HP, featuring the Star Portal Ability that lets you attach up to three Water Energy from discard to your Pokémon in any way you like during your turn. Attacks include Subspace Swell for 60 plus 20 more for each benched Pokémon in play, and Hydro Break for 200 but you can’t attack next turn—solid for control decks back in the day.
This promo dropped around 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield era tie-ins, often bundled in tins or special boxes, and raw copies from these prints sometimes show minor centering shifts, especially on the holo borders, or slight stock inconsistencies from the mass production run. Edges might have a touch of factory whitening if not sleeved right away, but clean ones hold up well without major print lines.
In terms of raw condition, we’re talking sharp corners that haven’t seen a binder yet, edges clean with no dings or whitening beyond the usual promo gloss, surface free of scratches or holo scratches that plague overhandled cards, and that holo flash popping under light without clouding. Centering looks about 60/40 on the sides, typical for these promos, with no whitening or edge wear creeping in. It’s the kind of copy you pull and immediately think about building a deck around. Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
