A recent spike in demand and thus prices of Pokémon TCG cards from Crown Zenith, the last English set of the Pokémon TCG’s eighth generation, has consequently put many eyes on cards from VSTAR Universe [S12a], its Japanese version. There’s much speculation that the same is about to happen with several of those cards including the Mewtwo VSTAR card.

This Special Art Rare (SAR) card features a Full Art illustration that shows the most powerful first-generation Pokémon unleashing its overwhelming force. The Psychic-type Legendary can clearly be seen readying a devastating blow of psychic energy, having already wrecked the immediate surroundings to smithereens. While not outright mentioned, the attack just launched is likely to be Star Raid, Mewtwo VSTAR’s VSTAR Power.

The card’s holofoil adds further visual effect to the imagery. The light surrounding Mewtwo VSTAR and its psychic energy appears to glow and sparkle brightly, further augmenting the striking image encapsulating Mewtwo VSTAR’s incredible power.

As an added bonus, in the top-right corner of the card, it can be seen that Mewtwo VSTAR is fighting a Charizard. A perennial fan-favorite, the mere presence of a Charizard on this card—even if it’s not the featured Pokémon—is likely to draw further attention to this card.

The English version of this card is GG44/GG70 in the Crown Zenith set.

A Mewtwo VSTAR (VSTAR Universe [S12a] 221/172) card of SAR rarity sells for 8,240 JPY (~US$53).
