Provenance

Where it came from

The Arceus V card, numbered 166/172, was released in the Brilliant Stars expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in early 2022. This set was notable for introducing the VSTAR mechanic, shifting the game's competitive landscape by offering powerful, high-HP Pokémon that could be played once per game. As the titular figure of the generation, Arceus was central to the set's marketing and overall theme of divine power within the Sinnoh region's mythology.

The artwork for this ultra-rare variant was created by Atsushi Furusawa, a frequent contributor to the franchise. Furusawa opted for a dynamic, full-art design that emphasizes the mythical status of the Pokémon, utilizing the textured foil finish characteristic of the Rare Ultra designation. The card was well-received by players for its utility in competitive play, particularly for its ability to accelerate energy cards, making it a staple in many decks throughout the Brilliant Stars format.
