Where it came from
The Alakazam V card, numbered 172/185, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sword & Shield—Vivid Voltage expansion, which debuted in late 2020. As a Psychic-type Pokémon, this card captures the iconic telepathic specialist in a full-art illustration style, a design choice intended to emphasize the creature's status as a high-tier 'V' card. These mechanics were introduced to the game to represent powerful, single-prize Pokémon that could evolve into even stronger VMAX forms, shifting the competitive meta toward high-damage, rapid-play strategies.
The artwork for this particular ultra-rare version was produced by illustrator PLANETA Mochizuki, who is known for a clean, digital aesthetic often employed in the Sword & Shield era. The design focuses on a dynamic, close-up perspective of Alakazam, utilizing a vibrant color palette to highlight its signature spoons and psychic aura. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who favored the sleek, holographic-etched surface and the detailed full-art treatment that distinguished it from the standard V card variant found in the same set.
