About this card
This stunning Special Art Rare (SAR) features Darkrai VSTAR soaring dramatically against a shimmering, iridescent cosmic backdrop filled with swirling colors and brilliant light. The artwork by Pani Kobayashi beautifully captures Darkrai's eerie, ethereal presence with its trademark shadowy form and glowing red core. Numbered 228/172, this card is part of the VSTAR Universe set (s12a), which was a Japanese-exclusive set released in December 2022 and serves as a collector's showcase set. Its status as a secret rare beyond the set's base numbering, combined with its spectacular full-art illustration, makes it a highly sought-after piece for collectors and Darkrai fans alike.
