Cynthia's Ambition 178/172

Cynthia's Ambition (178/172) is a Rainbow Rare Trainer card from Brilliant Stars. The collector number of 178 sits above the set's printed total of 172, which makes this a secret rare, one of the bonus cards placed beyond the main checklist and pulled less often than the standard cards in the set.

This Supporter card carries the name of Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion who is among the most recognised characters in the series. Character Trainer cards have a strong and lasting following among collectors, and a Rainbow Rare printing adds the textured, multicoloured finish reserved for the highest secret rares of the Sword and Shield era. The look catches the light in a way that sets these cards apart from the rest of a set.

Brilliant Stars is a well loved set from its generation, so its secret rares are a popular target. This Cynthia's Ambition suits collectors completing the Brilliant Stars secret rare run or building a collection around named character cards.
