Peony from Chilling Reign, the full art version numbered 197/198, sitting in raw NM/M condition fresh out of the pack. This one’s got that supporter trainer vibe, with artwork showing the big guy in his Crown Tundra gear, all bundled up against the snow with Galarian birds circling in the background. The foil accents pop on his coat and the icy landscape, giving it a cool shimmer when you tilt it just right.
As for the card text, it’s a supporter you play to discard up to two cards from your hand, then search your deck for up to two trainer cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Shuffle the deck after. No HP or type since it’s not a Pokémon, but it’s got that utility for deck thinning and grabbing key items mid-game. Players dig it for control setups, especially in formats where you need to cycle through supporters quickly.
Chilling Reign dropped back in 2021 as part of the Sword & Shield era, pulling from the Japanese Silver Lance and Jet-Black Spirit sets. Raw copies often show up with decent centering, but watch for those slight whitening edges common in mass pulls—Sword & Shield print runs had some variability in stock thickness, making them feel a tad stiffer than older stuff. This set’s full arts leaned into the Galarian theme, with Peony tying into the DLC story, so it’s a nod to explorers hunting legendaries.
In terms of raw condition, this card’s corners are sharp with no dings, edges clean without noticeable wear, and the surface is smooth, free of scratches or clouding. The holo foil has that fresh flash, no dull spots or print lines marring the artwork. Centering looks solid, maybe 60/40 on the borders, which is typical for these pulls and doesn’t detract much. Overall, it’s in that NM/M sweet spot, like it was sleeved right after cracking the booster.
Finding one this clean raw is like spotting a shiny in the wild—handle with care.
