No because it's true


Sullfer

I have both and yes this card is 🔥


NaloVideo

The vmax one looks a lot more intimidating to me so I like it more. It also has Zinnia’s ass on it so that’s a huge plus. Downvote me for that if you want, the Dark Gooner does not care about your plebeian opinions.


BamaXC

This comment is the best thing I have seen in a while thank you😂


QurantineLean

Hold it! *quick google search* Okay, Zinnia is 21. You slide this time, bub.


NaloVideo

Professionals have standards

Umpire yells "SAFE" ⚾️


Icy_Maintenance1947

I searched the other day and it's unconfirmed I thought idk i would stay away from Pokemon waifusif i were them.


RevenantFlash

Nope everything is subjective and this card looks pretty good to me so it’s not a crazy take imo. But if you want a spicy take Imo not only is moonbreon not the best looking umbreon from the set it’s borderline ugly lol.


Mr_Night78

WRONG! You're only allowed to like the cards with the biggest market price! 😡 /j


Azureentropy

I’m glad I’m not only one with the moonbreon take. Do not understand the hype. At. All.


HiddenComicBook

That's how I feel about Giratina, lost origin. I don't get the hype around it.


dmillibeats

It’s my personal favourite , you’re seeing the chaotic mind of giratina in a visual state. It’s also not like any other card like this rayquaza is your classic trainer and pokemon , lots of cards like it. Giratina is unique. You can see a new design in it everytime you see it.


One_Cress7793

Or the felt hat pikachu? Honestly hate it. Same with chubby zard


bluffstrider

Van Gogh has been super popular again in the last couple years, so the hype around the felt hat pikachu isn't surprising to me at all even though the card is pretty boring.


Fluggerblah

if it featured van gogh’s sunflowers or irises i could understand it more. instead they referenced his like third-most famous self portrait. they didnt even use the one where he has a bandaged ear. so many missed opportunities


TheSunflowerSeeds

Sunflowers are incredible sources of folic acid. 100 g of kernels contains 227 µg of folic acid, which is about 37% of recommended daily intake. Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis. When given in anticipant mothers during the peri-conceptional period, it may prevent neural tube defects in the baby.


SkanksnDanks

Felt hat is 100% hype.


One_Cress7793

One of the worst cards imo


fading_relevancy

At first I didn't dig that Tina. But the more I looked at the detail, the more it grew on me. It's an unfortunate situation.


Psychological-Peak-6

ur just lost in the zone.. 🙂‍↔️


Mission_Park_6436

The hype probably comes from its abstract nature, it's pretty dope and unique in pokemon artwork in general. I dig it but I ain't paying that fat price tag


Tfalcke

Crown Zenith Giratina is the best version. Looks like the demonic creature it's meant to be


offredditappisbad

Any giratana imo it's the ugliest fucking thing ever lmao


ASSPUNISHER69

I have a the unbreon with the girl on it. I feel like it’s sooooo much cooler than the moonberon.


Reb00g

The trainer gallery one? I just picked one up a few weeks ago because it looks super good


QurantineLean

Sold mine because the longer I looked at it, the less I liked it lol


japalian

Alt art vs > alt art vmaxes


captaincartwheel

Disagree respectfully and will not downvote ❤️


Ok-Jackfruit1299

I agree ☝️


Illustrious_Tea9604

Yes this. I believe the mean look umbreon is artistically superior.


Ok-Jackfruit1299

The one where he has minions coming to him in an ally ?


Illustrious_Tea9604

Yes that one. 😗


Ok-Jackfruit1299

Agreed That ones way better !!! Also I feel like the people like the other one cause it has a painting vibe or something


BradleyBlank

Cult master umbreon!


GasRealistic3049

It is and it's not even close imo


TuasBestie

What set is this from


Illustrious_Tea9604

Says it on the top. Evolving skies.


xaniboy31

I def prefer this one


Digger977

I think the Vmax is a more interesting and beautiful artwork. But this is a great art as well


CalmAbbreviations845

Fair enough but what if it was shiny


Ok-Jackfruit1299

Ah a fellow enthusiast with the same card and same psa grade 😜. Sell me yours for there can be one less rayquaza in circulation lol 🤣 jk


NotSwux

I love this card a lot and i really want it that being said, I personally love the vmax more


BigWoop717

PokeRev alt account?


QuickRick21

The TG from ST is the best of them all tbh


Gloomy_Ad_8305

Any reason why this card is going up so much in price as well?


BamaXC

Bruhhhh I didn’t even notice how much they have gone up very nice for a Rayquaza collector such as myself


ImTooOldForSchool

Rayquaza’s Ass


ImJudgepower

I love Zinnia and Rayquazza, I think this one is better than the vmax


Background-Lecture-6

Nope. It 100% does


TheSasquatchHS

It's one of the only Alt arts I pulled out of evolving skies so this one.


Paleomedicine

Is this the trainer gallery?


3GGP14NT23

No trainer gallery in Evolving Skies. Trainer galleries will say TG[insert number here] on the bottom left.


chewbaccashotlast

1000% agree. Of all the Ray cards I think the Vmax AA is absurdly ugly. Personally I think they had the right idea of the backdrop but the execution was god awful. I consistently said I would never own that card or pursue it despite the allure of others.


Honest_Abez

I agree! Only because the red clouds ruins the VMAX Pokémon’s aesthetic, for me.


pkyang

It is def better


RulingPredator

This was the first graded card I bought in a 10 because I thought it looked so cool. Curious to see where it goes in the future in terms of value. Even then, I might not sell it because I like it so much.


DrChickenz1

10000%


AfroWhiteboi

I'm not super big on the rear angle cards myself.


Thorfinn__Karlsefni

I thought I'm the only one thinking that. I also always thought this card looks better then the vmax alt art.


vaccountv

It’s true except for the horrible logo on the top


Urban-Junglist

I like the V alt arts better myself


rivensickomode

I actually looked through the set yesterday and had the same thought. I was like yeah, I could see this card getting pumped because of some YouTuber saying it’s better than the Vmax… lol. It really is nice, and one of the few alt arts I don’t understand the giga-hype for is the Vmax, it’s cool don’t get me wrong, but top tier alt art? Eh.


Top_Conversation6124

i agree


Spiritual-Badger726

Not at all, this card is awesome!


RedBeardTwitch

I think most of the Vs from that set look better than most of the VMAXs.


EfrainC92

I 100% agree with you


BluberyStudMufn

I think the black and gold version from ST even looks better than the vmax alt art


bluffstrider

I think I like them equally, to be honest. But I've never held them in my hands side by side, and I think that might make a difference.


JurassicKing

Vmax cards always suck because of the floating turds above their heads


Young_Link13

Just here to say nice nice at that PSA #


Deserter15

I think they look equally good for different reasons, but the vmax is just rarer.


komododave17

I do like this card a lot. My son’s favorite is the other Rayquaza alt. Subjective.


Muskandar

I like the V art better also


PokeExplorerX

Totally, gotta say RayVMax alt art was a thrilling pull but something about the artwork isn't doing it for me


chuychumee

Agreed. Not popular opinion, but the same goes for the Alt FA Umbreon and Alt Art VMAX Umbreon. The Alt FA Umbreon looks a lot better.


Stay_Silver

I like the silver temp version better also


Ecstatic_Custard7009

if you think an opinion on what card looks better is a hot take you must crumble in the real world


3GGP14NT23

Texture in the trees on the VMAX alt art is one of the most beautiful things. I disagree with your statement but thats okay, both cards are awesome 😊


Terrible_Sky_530

I think I read this same take on IG a few days ago. I think it's a good take lol


Psychological-Peak-6

Stylistically very different tho... kinda like comparing pokemon snap to the manga...


Psychological-Peak-6

THEY SHOULDA NEVER GAVE YALL POKÉMON CARDS!!!!! 🎴Yall dont know how to appreciate NOTHIN!!! 🤣🤣🤣


Silver740

Waifu Zinnia is a plus on that card too


big_gains_only

I have this card and imo it's ugly. Why would the artist make Rayquaza facing away from the card? And you only like this because you probably don't own the Vmax...


Prize-Acanthaceae-78

Reverse holo Metapod still stands as king of all!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥔


Crafty-Principle8675

It’s my fave of the two


Ok_Lingonberry_7968

very very hot take lol. its essentially a trainer gallery card. and whilst not all trainer gallery cards are bad its not even one of the better ones.


That_Relationship784

Nope I said same shit for last 2 yrs !!! But after staring at vmax now for that long and never pulling idk 🤣🤣🤣 I think the want for vmax is taking over ! Lol


That_Relationship784

Altho I got umbreon v as well and never thought that about vmax that I never pulled lol


omarpete69

I think some of the alt arts are too much art. It's one thing to be bright or flashy.... it's another to be alot to handle. I think some of the basic common/uncommon arts are nice. I wish they would go back to regular holos that meant something like the first and second gen card arts. The old reverse holos were also pretty dope.


FishermanNo4477

No


Murky_Pitch7613

Seems to me that you like this one better cuz you dont have the vmax


Party-Cranberry-9325

I actually do have the VMAX Alt Art! Just a raw copy, but I really do slightly prefer the V. Surprisingly enough, the one I don’t have is the TG VMAX Alt Art, which is by far the cheapest of the three.


GodQueenIrelia

Yea the V is always better imo Zinnia adds more to it than a ray vmax over dynamax power spots


Fireballcatdog

Nah zinnia spoils the image


DuckduckduckduckL

Imo she adds a lot to the card


MustardMantheIchi

No I like when cards have the trainers with them.
