Ampharos V 171/185

This is Ampharos V from Vivid Voltage, a Sword and Shield era set. Ampharos is a long standing fan favourite that traces back to the early generations, and here it appears as a V card, one of the headline mechanics of the Sword and Shield years that replaced the earlier EX and GX styles with high powered single Pokemon cards.

Card number 171/185 places this beyond the standard numbered cards of the set, in the range reserved for the Full Art treatment. As a Full Art V, the artwork extends across the whole card face with a textured finish, giving Ampharos a far more elaborate presentation than its regular counterpart. Full Art V cards were a popular target throughout the Sword and Shield run.

Collectors look for this card both for Ampharos's enduring appeal and for the polished look of the Full Art V style. Vivid Voltage is remembered for its strong lineup of special cards, and this Ampharos sits comfortably among them.
