Palkia VSTAR 040/189

Palkia VSTAR 040/189 is a VSTAR card from the Astral Radiance expansion. VSTAR cards arrived in the Sword and Shield era as the successor to the VMAX format, each offering a single powerful VSTAR Power that can be used once per game. The number 040/189 places this Palkia inside the main Astral Radiance set.

Palkia is one of the legendary Pokemon of the Sinnoh region and a central figure of the Diamond and Pearl games, which makes it a natural headline subject for an expansion. Astral Radiance leaned heavily on Sinnoh themes, so a Palkia VSTAR sits right at the heart of the set's identity. Collectors often pursue VSTAR cards both for their artwork and for the prominent legendary Pokemon they tend to feature.

This card fits an Astral Radiance set build, a Palkia collection, or a wider VSTAR and legendary display, and its standing as a major legendary keeps it in steady demand.
