# Darkrai VSTAR #099/189 — Astral Radiance

## Summary

Darkrai is a Sinnoh mythical with a devoted following, and its VSTAR in Astral Radiance was built to anchor Darkness decks, rewarding lists packed with the type's Energy. 5ban Graphics is a long-running Pokémon card illustrator, and a VSTAR sits one rung below the set's top chase slots. The modelled guide sits at $2.21, up 121% over 30 days on 158 copies traded, with only 15 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $41, 19 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
