Vulpix VSTAR 197/195

This is Vulpix VSTAR 197/195 from Silver Tempest, a Secret Rare in the rainbow rare style. The card number tells the story at a glance: with 197 sitting above the set total of 195, this is a secret rare that falls beyond the standard numbering, which is exactly where the rainbow treatments tend to live.

VSTAR cards were a headline mechanic late in the Sword and Shield run, pairing a powerful single stage Pokemon with a once per game VSTAR Power. The rainbow secret rare version reworks the card in the soft multicoloured finish that collectors associate with the most prized chase cards of the period. Vulpix is a long admired Pokemon, and seeing it in a VSTAR secret rare makes for an appealing combination.

Collectors look for Silver Tempest secret rares because they sit at the top of the set and are harder to come by than the regular printings. A rainbow Vulpix VSTAR is a fitting target for anyone chasing the full secret rare lineup or building a Vulpix collection.
