Where it came from
The Shaymin VSTAR card, numbered 173/172, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's Sword & Shield—Brilliant Stars expansion in early 2022. This set introduced the VSTAR mechanic, a powerful gameplay feature that allowed players to use a 'VSTAR Power' once per game, marking a significant evolution in competitive play strategies during the Sword & Shield era.
Designed as a 'Rainbow Rare' variant, this card features textured holofoil surfacing and a distinctive multi-colored finish. The artwork showcases Shaymin in its Land Forme, captured in a clean, illustrative style consistent with the high-rarity aesthetic standards of the modern Pokémon TCG. It was well-received by collectors who favored the textured 'Secret Rare' variants for their visual depth and status as chase cards within the set.
