Pokémon CS2aC Chinese Vivid Portrayals Obsidian Display | Official Sealed Box

Black as obsidian, bright as flame. Vivid Portrayals: Obsidian (生动描绘 - 黎) is one of the most unique and coveted series of the Simplified Chinese PTCG - a mythical compilation from the Sword & Shield block, exclusively released in mainland China in August 2023. And its undisputed ambassador? Charizard VMAX Gigantamax, the most iconic fire Pokémon in the card game, which graces the cover of this set in all its crystallized firepower. Grass, Fire, Fighting, Metal - the four types that dominate this Obsidian subset - are revealed in sumptuous illustrations with dark, premium reflections, featuring Shiny cards and alternate versions not found in any European or Japanese edition.

🔥 Slim Format: This CS2aC Vivid Portrayals display contains 30 boosters of 5 cards, for a total of 150 cards. Each booster guarantees at least 1 holographic, Reverse Holo, or Rare and above rarity card.

📌 Sword & Shield Block Set: CS2aC belongs to the Sword & Shield (S&S) era, with its own rarity system: V · VMAX · VSTAR · Shiny · Rainbow Rare cards. It stands out from recent Scarlet & Violet era sets with its darker aesthetic, iconic Shiny cards, and impressive Gigantamax forms.

🎴 Rarity System - CS2aC Vivid Portrayals Obsidian

• Reverse Holo (Holofoil Type): an absolute exclusivity of the Chinese version - all Common, Uncommon, and Rare cards have a Reverse Holo version with a unique shimmer effect, absent from Japanese and international versions.
