Unown V

Description

The Unown V Pokémon card, numbered 177 in the 2022 Silver Tempest expansion, stands as a distinctive entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game for collectors seeking unique character representations. Designed by artist Toshinao Aoki, this Ultra Rare card features a Holo finish that highlights the mysterious nature of the subject within the set's visual framework. As a Basic Pokémon with 180 HP, it offers substantial durability for gameplay while maintaining a retreat cost of just one Colorless energy, allowing for flexible positioning on the battle stage. The card’s attack lineup provides strategic depth, beginning with Psychic Shady Stamp, which deals 30 damage and applies the Confused status to the opponent's Active Pokémon. This effect adds a layer of control to the match, disrupting the adversary's strategy. The second attack, Colorless Victory Symbol, presents a high-risk, high-reward scenario: if used when a player has only one Prize card remaining, it instantly wins the game. This mechanic makes the card particularly memorable for its potential to turn the tide in critical moments. The Regulation Mark F indicates its legal status in specific tournament formats, adding another layer of detail for serious players and archivists. The combination of its Psychic typing, unique win condition, and ultra-rare status makes it a sought-after piece for those building comprehensive collections of the Silver Tempest expansion. Whether for display or gameplay, this card represents a fascinating intersection of lore and mechanics within the Pokémon universe.
