Where it came from
The Arceus VSTAR 176/172 was released in the 2022 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Brilliant Stars. As a high-rarity 'Rainbow Rare' variant, this card was designed to serve as a centerpiece for the set, featuring the Mythical Pokémon Arceus in its VSTAR form. The card introduces the VSTAR mechanic to the game, a pivotal evolution of the VMAX system that allows players to utilize one powerful VSTAR Power per match.
The artwork for this particular iteration of Arceus was illustrated by 5ban Graphics, a studio frequently commissioned by The Pokémon Company to produce sleek, high-definition digital illustrations for their specialty cards. The design utilizes a distinctive textured holographic foil treatment, moving away from traditional hand-drawn aesthetics to emphasize a modern, polished look that reflects the card's prestige status within the Brilliant Stars collection.
