Price: $100.99
Lugia VSTAR from Silver Tempest, a secret rare full art, sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. That artwork captures Lugia diving through stormy skies with those wings spread wide, all silver and blue vibes that just pull you in. The pose has this epic, whirlwind energy, like it’s about to unleash chaos on the battlefield.
On the card text, it’s a Colorless type with 280 HP. The VSTAR Power is Summoning Star—discard up to two cards from your hand to draw until you have eight, setting up those big plays. Attacks include Tempest Dive for 220 damage, which also discards any Stadium in play, and a basic Gust for 120 if you need something lighter. Solid colorless attacker that fits into a ton of decks without weakness headaches.
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 rainbow secret rare version, #202/195, blending full art with that shiny foil treatment. The set focused on Alolan Vulpix and Lugia themes, pulling from Japanese Incandescent Arcana, and this Lugia VSTAR became a chase card for its competitive edge and that legendary status. Remember how Lugia ruled the meta for a bit? Yeah, this one’s got history.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—edges sharp, surface flawless, no whitening or print defects. Centering looks dead on, probably 9.5 or better subgrades, giving it killer eye appeal with the rainbow holo popping under lights. From what I recall on pop reports, there are around 1,200 PSA 10s out there, not flooded but not impossible to chase if you’re patient.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light hits just right, maybe next to some other Johto legends for that nostalgic setup.
