Price: $809.12
Giratina from the 11th Movie Commemoration Set, numbered 005/009, clocks in as a holo promo rarity, and this one’s sitting pretty in a PSA 10 slab. Yeah, that altered form artwork? It’s got Giratina twisting through some distorted space, all shadowy tendrils and glowing eyes – the kind of pose that just pulls you in without trying too hard.
On the card text side, it’s a Psychic-type with 100 HP. Ability-wise, it’s got “Distortion” which lets you flip for extra effects during attacks, and then there’s “Shadow Force” dealing 80 damage while phasing out to dodge next turn. Solid moves for a Legendary like this, keeping it versatile in old-school decks.
This printing dropped back in 2008, tied right to the Pokémon movie “Giratina and the Sky Warrior.” What makes it stand out? It’s part of that exclusive Japanese promo set handed out at theaters or events – not your everyday booster pull. The set’s small, just nine cards total, focusing on movie stars like Shaymin and Regigigas, but Giratina leads the pack as the big bad from the Reverse World. In the broader TCG landscape, it’s a snapshot of that era’s promo style, blending film hype with collectible appeal without flooding the market.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around – edges sharp as a Dialga’s claw, no whitening, and centering that lines up dead even. Eye appeal’s strong with that holo swirl popping against the dark background; it’s one of those cards where the foil really enhances the eerie vibe. Pop reports? From what I’ve seen in collector circles, PSA 10s for this one hover around 50 or so last I checked – not a ton out there, given how these movie promos aged.
I’d tuck this into a display case right next to my other mythicals; it’s got that quiet presence that draws eyes during a casual flip-through.
