The Start Deck 100 series marked a significant moment in Pokemon's strategy to broaden the TCG audience in Japan during 2021. These themed decks were designed as accessible entry points for new players, each built around a different Pokemon V. The series helped sustain momentum during a period of extraordinary trading card demand, making it a memorable part of the modern era's expansion history. Galarian Rapidash V showcases the Galar region's psychic-type evolution of the classic Rapidash line, depicted with distinctive characteristics from Pokemon Sword and Shield. The card's elegant artwork captures the unicorn-like form that resonated with collectors drawn to the ninth generation's fresh interpretations of familiar Pokemon.
