2017 Pokemon Sun & Moon #143 Full Art Solgaleo GX in PSA 10. This one’s a steel-type powerhouse with that cosmic lion vibe roaring across the card. The artwork shows Solgaleo mid-leap, sun motifs blazing behind it, all metallic and intense like it’s about to eclipse everything in sight.
Card text keeps it straightforward: Metal type, 250 HP which is beefy for a GX. Ability is Ultra Road, letting you switch your active Pokémon with a benched one without retreating—handy for dodging status or setting up plays. Attacks include Sunsteel Strike at 230 damage but you skip your next turn, and the GX move Meteor Drive clocks in at 230 too, ignoring all effects on the defending Pokémon. Weak to Fire, resists Psychic, retreat cost of three. It’s got that classic GX mechanic where you can only use one GX attack per game.
Sun & Moon base set dropped in 2017, kicking off the Alola region era with fresh mechanics like GX cards replacing EX. This Solgaleo printing stands out as one of the box toppers for the set, full art style giving it that premium feel amid the wave of new legendaries. Not the rarest pull, but it’s a fan favorite for Solgaleo’s lore as the emissary of the sun, tying into the games’ story with Lunala as its counterpart.
In the slab, this PSA 10 shines with sharp corners and edges that look untouched, surface clean as a whistle without a hint of whitening or print defects. Centering hits that sweet spot, probably 60/40 or better, making the artwork pop under the case. Eye appeal is solid with those vibrant golds and blues holding up nicely—no fading or haze. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, PSA 10s for this card sit around 850 or so, not flooded but not unicorn rare either, which keeps collectors hunting for clean examples.
I’d stash this in a display case next to its Lunala buddy, just to balance the sun and moon energies.
