The Gold Secret Rare Cards Of Pokémon TCG: Vivid Voltage
The Vivid Voltage expansion has stormed the Pokémon Trading Card Game community, adding a collection of beautiful new cards that collectors are eager to pull. Let's take a look at the beautiful cards featured in this Pokémon TCG expansion known as "Gold Secret Rares," which feature unique trainer cards and Shiny Pokémon. These textured cards look like something stolen out of a dragon's stash from the way they gleam. These are classified as Secret Rare cards which include these below Gold Secret Rare Cards, Rainbow Rare Pokémon Cards, and, finally, Rainbow Rare Trainer Supporter cards. Secret Rare cards feature a number greater than the collective number of the set. For example, the first of the below Secret Rares, Shiny Galarian Obstagoon, is numbered 198/185. The next card, Shiny Oranguru, is 199/185, and so on.
- Shiny Galarian Obstagoon Gold: This is easily the most coveted of these Gold Cards because of Obstagoon's popularity as well as the stunning colors of its Shiny form. Shiny Pokémon are very rare in the Pokémon TCG, with sets that focus on them such as Shining Legends, Hidden Fates, and the upcoming Shining Fates becoming some of the most in-demand sets in the game's history. If you pull this card, consider yourself truly lucky.
- Shiny Oranguru Gold: Oranguru looks awesome in its Shiny form and this golden card gives its unusual color palette of pink and green a chance to pop over the sparkling gold. The burst of Shiny sparkles is accentuated by the gold as well, making this another killer pull.
- Cape of Toughness: Now, we're getting into the Trainer cards. While these are still very rare, some players prefer the Pokémon over these while others, especially those who play Pokémon TCG competitively, enjoy these. Cape of Toughness works well over the gold due to the royal flair of the cape.
- Hero's Medal: The palette here just works, with this medal almost acting like an award for anyone lucky enough to pull it.
- Memory Capsule: The most beautiful of the Gold Trainer Cards, it would be hard to be disappointed at this Secret Rare even if you were hoping for the Shiny Obstagoon.
- Telescopic Sight: Finally, while this one isn't as stunning as the others, it's still quite the rush to pull a card that gleams as this one does, and the galaxy effect behind the card is beautiful in person.
