After all, in addition to its rarity of Ultra Rare (UR), this card was also expected to be a highly viable gameplay option. It has certainly not disappointed on both fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, this card features an eye-catching Full Art illustration by AKIRA EGAWA. The image depicts the Legendary of Space floating above a canyon or chasm of some sort. While the illustration might not necessarily be the best portrayal of Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR&#8217;s actual powers, it&#8217;s no less striking. The card&#8217;s gold border and iridescent V symbols in the corners\u2014colored to represent the Pok\u00e9mon Pearl video game of which Palkia is the mascot\u2014complete the imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay-wise, this card&#8217;s standout feature is Star Portal, its VSTAR Power. Once per game, the player may use it for a quick power-up to any Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. This has made Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR a crucial part of many decks built around Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. As such, it&#8217;s no wonder that a reprint of this card will make an appearance in the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/04\/15\/pokemon-tcg-battle-master-deck-charizard-ex-chien-pao-ex-release-date-17-may-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chien-Pao ex Battle Master Deck<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card&#8217;s English version is GG67\/GG70 from the Crown Zenith set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of a Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR (VSTAR Universe [S12a] 259\/172) is 5,260 JPY (~US$34) as per the latest figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/04\/17\/yu-gi-oh-tcg-linkuriboh-heads-to-the-blacklist-quarter-century-chronicle-sideunity-qccu-jp101\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linkuriboh card from Quarter Century Chronicle side:Unity<\/a>.
