The final boss fight against Cynthia, the Champion of the Sinnoh region, at the climax of Gen 4 Pokémon video games Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum is one of the most memorable moments of the entire Pokémon franchise. In part due to this as well as several other reasons, many cards featuring her in some capacity—such as Garchomp V from Battle Region [S9a]—end up being major hits.

About Garchomp V (Battle Region [S9a] 084/067)

The card’s Full Art illustration depicts Cynthia in front of Garchomp V—implying that the Garchomp V in the illustration is the same Garchomp that’s her ace Pokémon from the video games. In the video games, Cynthia’s Garchomp is often regarded as one of the most difficult NPC-owned Pokémon to defeat in the history of the games—and this iconic status significantly drove up demand for this card, which to date is the third of four cards to feature Cynthia’s Garchomp.

Other points about this card which further increase fan interest in the card are its rarity of Character Super Rare (CSR) as well as the fact that Cynthia ranks as one of the most popular female characters in the Pokémon franchise. The illustration’s holofoil background adds even more visual impact, making the imagery of Cynthia and Garchomp V stand out even more.
