Salamence V 185/189

This is Salamence V 185/189 from Darkness Ablaze, a Sword and Shield era set. The card number 185 falls just inside the printed set count of 189, but as a Full Art card it sits among the special illustration entries that round out the back of the set.

Pokemon V cards introduced the V mechanic to the Sword and Shield era, offering higher health and powerful attacks in exchange for giving up two prize cards when knocked out. The Full Art treatment extends the artwork across the whole card, removing the standard frame so the illustration of Salamence fills the entire space.

Full Art V cards are popular with collectors who value artwork driven designs, and Salamence is a long admired Pokemon that adds to the appeal. A clean copy is a fitting choice for collectors completing their Darkness Ablaze set or building a run of Full Art V cards.
