Where it came from
The Dragonite VSTAR card was released in 2022 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game collaboration with the mobile game Pokémon GO. This set served to bridge the digital experience of the mobile app with the tactile nature of the physical card game, featuring artwork that often integrates thematic elements from the Niantic-developed application. The Rainbow Rare variant, numbered 81/78, is a secret rare card characterized by a textured, holofoil finish that creates a spectrum of colors across the surface.
The card was designed to highlight the VSTAR mechanic, a short-lived but impactful gameplay feature introduced in the Sword & Shield era that allowed players to perform a powerful once-per-game ability. The illustration captures the dragon-type Pokémon in a dynamic, high-energy pose consistent with the visual standards of the Japanese artists contracted by The Pokémon Company. Upon release, it was well-received by collectors who prioritized the set's unique aesthetic integration and the prestige associated with the VSTAR rarity tier.
