This Grimmsnarl VMAX from the Shining Fates Shiny Vault is graded PCG 9 Mint, reflecting a card in outstanding shape with only the most minimal, nearly imperceptible signs of handling. At this grade, you can expect sharp corners, clean edges, a vibrant foil surface, and strong centering — essentially as close to pulled-from-the-pack perfect as a graded card gets. Please refer to the provided photos for the exact details of the item's condition.
Grimmsnarl made its mark in the Pokemon world as one of the most visually imposing Dark-type Pokemon in the franchise — a hulking, wild-haired brute whose design channels equal parts heavy metal album cover and fairy-tale villain. Its evolutionary line, running from the mischievous Impidimp through Morgrem and into this enormous final form, tells a story of chaos growing into something truly dangerous. Grimmsnarl VMAX leans into that identity completely, with a presence on the card that commands attention the moment you lay eyes on it.
The Shining Fates set, released in early 2021, became an instant phenomenon in the Pokemon Trading Card Game community. Its Shiny Vault subset was the main event — a curated collection of shiny-form Pokemon rendered in the bold, striking full-art style that collectors had been chasing since Hidden Fates. Shiny Vault pulls were never guaranteed, making every one of them a genuine prize out of the booster pack. This particular card, numbered SV117/SV122, sits near the end of that exclusive subset, a mark of just how sought-after the Shiny Vault cards became on release and have remained ever since.
As a VMAX card, Grimmsnarl occupies a special place in competitive TCG history. VMAX cards represent the evolved, powered-up form of a V Pokemon, boasting massive HP totals and attacks built to swing for the fences. Grimmsnarl VMAX specifically found its way into competitive Darkness-type strategies, offering both raw power and the kind of card presence that makes it worth running in a dedicated build. Beyond the gameplay angle, the artwork here is the real showstopper — the shiny coloration gives Grimmsnarl's already dramatic design a heightened, almost ethereal quality that sets it apart from its standard-set counterpart.
For collectors, a PCG 9 Mint copy of a Shiny Vault VMAX is the kind of card that anchors a binder page. Shining Fates supply has only grown tighter with time, and the Shiny Vault subset remains one of the most beloved in the modern era of the TCG. Whether you're building a complete Shiny Vault master set, chasing every Grimmsnarl card ever printed, or simply want a high-grade specimen from one of the hobby's landmark releases, this card delivers on every front.
This one is perfect for the competitive player who wants a battle-ready copy with serious aesthetic appeal, the dedicated Grimmsnarl collector hunting down every version of their favorite Dark-type, or the set-completer working their way through the full Shining Fates Shiny Vault checklist with quality grades in mind.
