Zoroark VSTAR 203/196

Zoroark VSTAR 203/196 is a rainbow rare from Lost Origin, an English expansion in the Sword and Shield series. The card number tells the story here: with 203 sitting above the set's official count of 196, this is a secret rare, printed beyond the standard numbering and pulled far less often than the regular version of the same Pokemon.

As a VSTAR, Zoroark carries the mechanic that defined the late Sword and Shield era. VSTAR Pokemon evolve from their basic V forms and bring a VSTAR Power, a special ability or attack that can be used only once per game. They give up two prize cards when knocked out, so they reward careful play as much as careful collecting.

Zoroark itself is a long-standing favourite, a Dark type fox Pokemon famous for its illusions, and the rainbow treatment covers the full card in colourful textured foil. Rainbow rares were retired after the Sword and Shield block, which keeps secret rares like this one on want lists for anyone building a complete Lost Origin master set.
