Butterfree VMAX 002/189

Butterfree VMAX 002/189 is from Darkness Ablaze, the Sword and Shield era set that brought a wave of VMAX cards into the format. This is the Butterfree VMAX, the Dynamax form of one of the most recognisable Pokemon from the very first generation, given the larger scale treatment that the VMAX mechanic is known for.

VMAX cards represent a Pokemon V that has Dynamaxed, carrying very high HP and powerful attacks while giving up three prizes when knocked out. They are among the headline cards of any set. Butterfree carries a lot of nostalgia for long time fans, so its VMAX appeals to collectors who grew up with the original line as well as those completing the Darkness Ablaze set. The 002/189 number places it within the main set. Its bright, winged artwork makes it a favourite for display, and mint copies are the ones collectors most want to set aside.
