# Frosmoth (Japanese) #084 — S1a: VMAX Rising

## Summary

Almost three months before Rebel Clash put Frosmoth on English shelves in May 2020, the Japanese edition arrived in S1a: VMAX Rising in February 2020, and it came as a gold Ultra Rare, the chase tier for a Water-type that rarely gets one. The full-art face fills the frame with a pale, crystalline Frosmoth wrapped in glittering gold texture, green eyes peering out from the centre. Ice Pokémon with a delicate look keep a loyal following among collectors. The modelled guide sits at $15 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $25 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
