Collection: Alt Arts

What is an Alternate Art?

Alternate Arts (often shortened to Alt Arts) are special variant illustrations of existing Pokemon cards, introduced by The Pokemon Company in the Sword and Shield era and carried through into Scarlet and Violet. Where a regular V or VMAX shows the Pokemon in a clean studio pose, the Alt Art reimagines the same card with full-bleed artwork, narrative scenes, and a different artist signature. The gameplay text stays identical, but the artwork tells a story. That storytelling is exactly why collectors organise entire binders around this rarity tier.

What you will find in this collection

Our Alt Arts collection brings together 65 cards from sets including Evolving Skies, Chilling Reign, Fusion Strike, and Brilliant Stars. You will find chase pieces such as Sandaconda V 252/264, Inteleon VMAX 266/264, and Calyrex VMAX 203/198, alongside collector favourites like Lugia V 186/195 and Giratina V 186/196. The rarity mix spans Ultra Rare V Alt Arts, Secret Rare VMAX Alt Arts (the rainbow and gold variants that sit above the set number), and a handful of GX-era Full Arts such as Pheromosa and Buzzwole GX 192/214 for collectors chasing the older format.
