The Pikachu VMAX (Rainbow) 188/185 in context
Why collectors care
The Vivid Voltage Pikachu VMAX rainbow secret rare (2020), affectionately called "Chonkachu" for its chubby artwork, was the standout chase card of its set and a modern fan favorite.
How to identify it
Number 188/185, a rainbow secret rare beyond the printed set size, from Vivid Voltage. Confirm the set and the rainbow finish.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse it with the standard Pikachu VMAX; match the 188/185 rainbow. The textured rainbow surface scratches easily.
Grade considerations
Rainbow rares are centering- and surface-sensitive, so PSA 10 copies are scarcer than expected. Inspect the textured foil before paying a gem price.
