The Giratina VSTAR 261/172 from Pokémon TCG Japan's S12a: VSTAR Universe is the definitive secret rare representation of the Renegade Pokémon — and one of the most sought-after singles from the entire Sword & Shield era.

261/172 places this card firmly in the UR (Ultra Rare / Secret Rare) portion of the set, numbered well beyond the base set total. VSTAR Universe is a Japanese High Class Pack — the same prestigious annual format as VMAX Climax and Shiny Star V — sets that are consistently highly sought after by collectors worldwide. It is the final set of the Sword & Shield era, giving it true end-of-era milestone status that only appreciates over time.

  • Set: S12a VSTAR Universe (Japanese, December 2022)
  • Card number: 261/172 — Secret Rare UR, beyond set total
  • Type: Dragon | Stage: VSTAR | HP: 280
  • Attacks: Lost Impact hits for 280 damage, and the VSTAR Power Star Requiem — usable with 10+ cards in the Lost Zone — delivers an automatic Knock Out on the opponent's Active Pokémon.
  • Rarity context: VSTAR Universe introduced the new Art Rare (AR) and Special Art Rare (SAR) rarity tiers, making the UR Secret Rare tier the true apex pull of the set.
  • Market value: Recent TCGPlayer market data shows raw Near Mint Japanese copies trading with a 3-month snapshot price in the $230–$350 range, reflecting sustained collector demand.

Giratina VSTAR is among the most iconic Lost Zone attackers in competitive history, and this Japanese UR Secret Rare is the chase version of the card. Whether you're building a Giratina collection, holding for grade submission, or locking in the last great Sword & Shield Japanese exclusive — 261/172 VSTAR Universe belongs in the portfolio.
