It evolves from Rayquaza V, so Rayquaza VMAX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Rayquaza VMAX worth?
Rayquaza VMAX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Evolving Skies'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, Evolving Skies 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

Grading and condition
On a holo like Rayquaza VMAX, surface is the grade cap. The dragon foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
