About VMAX Rising
What VMAX Rising is
VMAX Rising, sold in Japan as Enhanced Expansion Pack: VMAX Rising, is the first subset of the Japanese Sword & Shield era, released on February 7, 2020 as an enhancement of the first main expansion, Sword and Shield. It has 70 cards in the numbered set plus 16 secret prints, 86 in total. The set continues the arrival of Generation VIII Pokémon and gives the Galar starters their final evolutions as Rillaboom V and VMAX, Cinderace V and VMAX and Inteleon V and VMAX, with Boltund V, Sandaconda V and Dubwool V beside them. The secrets run from the Rillaboom V full art 71 through the Supporters Sonia 77 and Milo 78 and the VMAX prints at 79 to 81 to the gold Frosmoth 84, Big Charm 85 and Twin Energy 86. Its cards reached English as part of Rebel Clash.
What makes VMAX Rising different
- Sonia The Sonia full art 77 is the most valuable card in the set in PSA 10, and its rainbow print 82 also reaches the top eleven, ahead of most of the VMAX cards.
- Commons on top Magikarp 20 ranks second in the set in PSA 10, with Shuckle 4, Gyarados 21 and Vulpix 12 also in the top nine, regular cards that outrank the starter VMAX prints.
