Vivid Voltage Best Cards & Chase Guide (2026)

Why these cards lead the set
Pikachu VMAX Rainbow Rare (#188) — the chonky Pikachu — trades around $150 raw and multiples of that in PSA 10. It’s one of the few 2020-era cards with genuine icon status; demand renews with every new wave of collectors.
Pikachu V Full Art (#170) is the budget companion at ~$35, and Rayquaza Amazing Rare (#138) represents the set’s other innovation — the short-lived Amazing Rare foil treatment that collectors have warmed to in hindsight.
The trainer slots (Pokemon Center Lady #185, Nessa #183/#196) stay relevant on art alone.
