Flying Pikachu VMAX · Celebrations, what to know.
About the Flying Pikachu VMAX card
Numbered 7 of 25 in Celebrations, released in October 2021, Flying Pikachu VMAX is a Rare Holo VMAX, a Basic Lightning-type carrying 310 HP.
It evolves from Flying Pikachu V, so Flying Pikachu VMAX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Flying Pikachu VMAX worth?
Flying Pikachu VMAX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Celebrations's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Celebrations holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Flying Pikachu VMAX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Flying Pikachu VMAX lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The lightning foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Flying Pikachu VMAX
When you go to buy Flying Pikachu VMAX, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Flying Pikachu VMAX, so price the specific copy in front of you.
