Pokémon TCG Reveals Charizard Alt Arts From Ultra Premium Collection

We finally have a solid look at the Charizard Alternate Art cards that will be included in the upcoming Sword & Shield Charizard Ultra Premium Collection. The box will include three SWSH Black Star Promos featuring a new etched foil Charizard V, Charizard VMAX, and Charizard VSTAR, along with Charizard-themed sleeves, a metal coin, damage counter dice, and more. It will notably contain sixteen Sword & Shield-era booster packs. It will be released on October 28th and will retail for $119.99. The biggest feature is the promo cards, though, because Alternate Arts have been by far the most popular feature in the Sword & Shield series block. The Alternate Arcs include Charizard V by Oswaldo KATO which shows Venusaur and Charizard resting after their iconic battle in the first Charizard V Alt Art from Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars; Charizard VSTAR by KIYoTAKA OSHIYAMA, which pits Charizard in an epic battle with Mewtwo that connects to a Mewtwo VSTAR Alternate Art that will come out later on; and finally a Charizard VMAX by Shiburingaru which delivers a painterly version of Gigantamax Charizard letting loose an intense stream of flames. This is the very first product in which we will get an Alternate Art VSTAR. It is set to be the most popular Pokémon TCG product of the year.
