About This Card

Mew V from Sword & Shield: Fusion Strike is one of the most important cards from one of the largest sets in Pokémon TCG history — and the foundation of the Mew VMAX engine that defined the Fusion Strike competitive era. Illustrated by aky CG Works, the Half Art V design presents a dynamic, vibrant 3D render of Mew floating amidst a cascade of colorful energy streams exploding out of a graphic border framing — a visually energetic piece that captures Mew's playful, otherworldly character in the bold graphic style of the V card era. The standard V Holofoil finish delivers a smooth, mirror-like glossy surface that catches light cleanly across the artwork window.

This copy has been professionally graded by CGC and awarded a grade of 8 — Near Mint/Mint, reflecting a card with strong eye appeal and only minor imperfections that prevent a higher grade designation. A CGC 8 offers buyers a professionally authenticated, slabbed copy of one of the most played and collected Fusion Strike cards at an accessible price point relative to higher-graded copies, making it an excellent option for collectors who want the security of a slab without the premium of a 9 or 10.

On the competitive side, Mew V's zero retreat cost makes it one of the most mobile Basic Pokémon in the game — free to pivot in and out of the Active spot without any Energy cost. Energy Mix's Fusion Strike Energy search accelerates the engine that powers Mew VMAX, while Psychic Leap's 70 damage with the option to shuffle Mew V back into the deck provides a resilient, hard-to-KO threat that defined the Fusion Strike archetype's staying power throughout its competitive lifespan.
