Galarian Moltres lands in the Art Rare (AR) slot — the most sought-after standard rarity tier in S12a: VSTAR Universe, the final High Class Pack of the entire Sword & Shield era. This Japanese-exclusive set dropped on December 2, 2022, and it immediately earned its place as the capstone Sword & Shield release: a complete AR lineup spanning the full generation, stunning Special Art Rares, and ultra-rares that command serious money. Collectors know VSTAR Universe the way sports collectors know a championship-year set — it closes an era, and closing-era sets age well.

Card #190/172 pulls Galarian Moltres — the dark, Psychic-type Legendary from the Crown Tundra — in a full holofoil Art Rare treatment illustrated by Keiichiro Ito. The AR format frames the Pokémon against a dynamic, borderless painted scene with no Trainer in sight, letting Galarian Moltres own every inch of the card. The holographic finish amplifies the deep purples and blacks of its plumage in a way that raw copies simply cannot match across the table.

This copy carries a CGC Gem Mint 10 — flawless corners, sharp edges, vibrant color, and a centered print, certified and sealed. On the secondary market, CGC 10 copies of this card trade actively on eBay, with graded examples listed well above the raw price floor and collector demand keeping the CGC 10 tier firmly separated from ungraded copies.

  • Set: S12a VSTAR Universe — the final Sword & Shield High Class Pack (December 2, 2022)
  • Rarity: Art Rare (AR) — holofoil, borderless illustrated format
  • Illustrator: Keiichiro Ito
  • Grade: CGC Gem Mint 10
  • Card number: 190/172 (above-set numbering confirms AR rarity)

Galarian Moltres has built a devoted collector following as one of the most visually distinctive Legendaries of the modern era, and VSTAR Universe AR copies — especially graded — represent the definitive version of that fandom. If you're building a serious Japanese Pokémon collection around Sword & Shield's best cards, this CGC 10 is the version worth owning.
