Typhlosion VSTAR Rainbow 193/189

Typhlosion VSTAR Rainbow 193/189 is a Rainbow Secret Rare from Astral Radiance, part of the Sword and Shield era. The 193/189 number runs past the base set total of 189, the standard sign of a Secret Rare when the first number exceeds the second. This card carries the rainbow treatment, where the artwork is finished with a textured, multicoloured overlay that shifts across the whole card.

VSTAR cards introduced the VSTAR Power mechanic, a single use effect that could be activated once per game, and they sat among the top tier cards of their era. Typhlosion is a long standing starter line favourite, and combining the VSTAR layout with the rainbow Secret Rare finish makes this one of the chase cards from Astral Radiance. Collectors look for rainbow VSTAR cards to round out a master set and for their strong presence in a display. Offered here as an English print held to Mint condition, this Typhlosion VSTAR suits Astral Radiance set builders and Typhlosion fans.
