2022 POKEMON JPN SWORD & SHIELD VSTAR UNIVERSE #126 ARCEUS V PSA 10
Price: $26.00
Arceus V from the Japanese Sword & Shield VSTAR Universe set, card #126, in a PSA 10 slab. This one’s got that alternate art where Arceus floats in a cosmic void, plates glowing like it’s about to rewrite reality. The pose captures it mid-creation, all serene power with those energy rings swirling around.
On the card text, it’s a Colorless-type Pokémon V with 220 HP. Ability is Trinity Charge—lets you search your deck for up to three basic Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon V however you want, then shuffle. Attack is Power Edge for 130 damage, straightforward but hits when you need it. Weakness to Fighting, no resistance, retreat cost of two.
This printing dropped in 2022 as part of VSTAR Universe, a premium Japanese set that pulled together reprints from the Sword & Shield era with fresh artwork. What stands out here is how it ties into Arceus’s lore as the creator Pokémon, especially with VSTAR Universe being a sort of “best of” compilation before the Scarlet & Violet shift. It’s not your standard Brilliant Stars version; this one’s got that high-end feel from a set loaded with gallery-style arts, making it a nod to collectors who dig the mythical side of the TCG.
In the slab, PSA 10 means edges are crisp, corners sharp, surface flawless—no print lines or whitening to worry about. Centering’s likely dead on, giving it strong eye appeal with the holo shine popping under light. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, these hover around 500 or so in PSA 10, but that’s just based on general tracking; not super flooded, which keeps it interesting for slab chasers.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches those plates just right, like a quiet centerpiece.
