About this deal

Before we deep dive into what the card means, we need to understand the Pokemon on the card and what it is capable of. The Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art features the Gengar in its gigantamax form in which it becomes significantly larger than normal, and its body below the torso sinks into the ground. Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar were the only Ghost-type Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Red & Blue, and while later games added more Ghost-types, their unique type made them an instant favorite among fans.

I'll get to the good stuff soon, but if this is generally well received I plan to share future set data as well. This is the first time I've gathered this data myself so we'll just see how it goes and let me know if there's other data you'd be interested in seeing and can change my model! Required that I see at least 30 instances of a 'hit' from a rarity tier. This was achieved for all rarity tiers except Vmax Alternate Arts. As you will see below I posted my observed average, but will not post a +/- as there's insufficient observations to support the 95% confidence range. Pre-release events for Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike will be held at official Pokémon TCG tournament stores the weekend of October 30th, 2021. It is expected that the Shiny Pokémon appearing on a Gold Card this time around with be Flaaffy. Flaaffy was the one and only Shiny Gold Card in the Japanese set Fusion Arts, so it is very likely that it will be the one and only Shiny Gold Card in Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike.

Starting when PokeTubers started getting their promotional booster boxes a couple weeks ago, I've spent the time and watched several hours of YouTube booster box openings and worked my excel spreadsheets to the bone to pull this data together. I'm not a statistician by trade, but to me there's something fun about data gathering (I think they call that being a nerd, lol). I started doing this because I had a difficult time locating the same information myself, so I decided I'd share my findings for anyone else who's also interested. The art on the card is the courtesy of the talented Sowsow who have been working on many TCG cards. Some of their most notable works include the magnificent Espeon V from evolving skies. Ultra Rare V, Ultra Rare Vmax, Regular Full Arts, Alternate Art V Full Arts, Gold, Rainbow, & finally Alternate Art Vmax The Pokémon TCG has now shown the English versions of cards that we've been excited about for some time now. The Mew-VMAX and Boltund-VMAX that appeared in Japan's Fusion Arts have now been released with English text ahead of their release as part of the November 2021 Pokémon TCG expansion, Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike. Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike will bring a third Battle Style to the Pokémon TCG, adding Fusion Strike to Rapid Strike and Single Strike. The set focuses on Pokémon including Mew, Boltund, Genesect, and Gengar VMAX. Let's get into everything we know about Fusion Strike. Mew VMAX & Boltund VMAX from Fusion Strike. Credit: Pokémon TCG With 264 cards before Secret Rares, it seems that this may be the largest Pokémon TCGset of all time. Before this set, Sun & Moon – Cosmic Eclipsehad 236 cards before Secret Rares and 271 in total. This will easily top that.

The Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art isn’t the only Gengar card in the set we also have the Gengar VMAX which is also a great card and has almost a similar theme to it. Gengar V is also present in the set which is in int’s normal form, which still is very scary, to say the least. The future value will be determined purely by the supply of the card, so if there are no reprints, the card might hold the value, but expect the price to drop once other expansions come out!

Full Price Guide for Gengar VMAX #271 (Pokemon Fusion Strike)

So till then, why not ponder over the cards that we already know are quite popular, like this phenomenal Secret Rare Gengar VMAX Alternate Art, the name surely is a mouthful.

The most valuable Gengar Pokemon cards fetch a high price among collectors thanks to its inclusion in some of the oldest TCG expansions and its place as one of the original 151 Pokemon introduced in the Red & Blue games. Gengar Vmax Alt (0.13%) - Inteleon Vmax Alt (0.08%) - Mew Vmax Alt (0.08%) - Espeon Vmax Alt (0.05%) For the alternate art categories, I've also compiled some sub-data regarding the specific "chase cards" It’s always nice when one of the Original 151 (aside from Pikachu and Charizard) really gets to shine on a Pokémon card. Gengar gets his big moment with this cleverly-designed card that is compelling enough to make the ghost Pokémon the Fusion Strike set’s biggest hit. Giratina V (Alternate Full Art) The next set will be Pokemon brilliant stars which will contain the all-new V-star mechanic to the game, so maybe the VMAX cards won’t be the top tier cards that they are right now. But who knows, anything can happen.Gengar’s absence in the Base Set (the most valuable expansion) means variants have never reached the eye-wateringly high prices of the most valuable Charizard, Blastoise or Venusaur cards. However, the right cards in perfect condition can still be worth thousands of dollars.
