Pokemon Pikachu VMAX 188/185 Vivid Voltage Full Art Rainbow Rare POSSIBLE PSA 10
Price: $145.00
Pikachu VMAX from Vivid Voltage, card number 188/185, secret rare rainbow full art, slabbed in PSA 10. This one’s a standout in the Sword & Shield era, with that massive Pikachu form dominating the frame.
The artwork shows Pikachu VMAX charging up in a stormy scene, lightning bolts everywhere, that chubby face looking fierce amid the chaos. It’s got this dynamic energy, like it’s about to unleash on the battlefield.
Lightning type, clocks in at 310 HP. Ability-wise, it’s straightforward—no fancy tricks, but the attacks hit hard: Max Voltage lets you discard energies from your Pokémon to pump up damage, up to 200 if you ditch three. G-Max Volt Tackle is the big one, 120 base with a self-damage kicker unless you attach energy right. Solid for aggressive decks, pairs well with energy acceleration.
Vivid Voltage dropped in late 2020, part of the Sword & Shield sets that ramped up VMAX mechanics. This printing stands out as the rainbow secret rare, with that holographic sheen making the colors pop—way flashier than the standard VMAX art. It was a chase card in packs, tying into Pikachu’s endless popularity, especially with the set’s focus on Gigantamax forms and high-HP beasts.
In a PSA 10 slab, you’re looking at pristine centering, maybe 9.5 or 10 subs across the board—edges sharp, surface clean, no whitening. Eye appeal is off the charts with the rainbow foil catching light from every angle, turning heads in any display case. Pop reports show around 1,200 PSA 10s out there last I checked, but that number creeps up as more get graded.
I’d keep this one on the shelf where sunlight hits it just right, watching the colors dance like a mini thunderstorm.
