Dark Patch Reverse Holo 135/172 (JP)

This is the Japanese Dark Patch Reverse Holo, card number 135/172 from the VSTAR Universe set. Dark Patch is a Trainer card rather than a Pokemon, a long running support item used to accelerate energy in play. The reverse holo treatment places the foil across the card frame, giving it a different finish to the standard print of the same number.

VSTAR Universe is a large high class Japanese expansion that pulled cards and mechanics from across its era into one set, which makes it a favourite for collectors after a wide ranging run. Reprinted Trainer staples like Dark Patch appear alongside the headline Pokemon, and the reverse holo gives that staple an extra collectible variant.

Reverse holo Trainers appeal to set builders chasing every variant in the set, as well as players who appreciate a tidy foil copy of a familiar card. A clean copy fits well into a VSTAR Universe collection.
