Celebi V (Alternate Full Art) - SWSH08: Fusion Strike (SWSH08)
The single card every serious Pokémon TCG collector wants out of Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike (SWSH08) is already in your hands: the Celebi V Alternate Full Art (#245/264), illustrated by Teeziro, and widely recognized as one of the most beloved alt-art pulls from the entire Sword & Shield era.
This Ultra Rare Grass-type Basic Pokémon V carries 190 HP and features the Leaflet Dance attack — attaching any number of Grass Energy from hand to your Pokémon — wrapped in Teeziro's lush, painterly full-bleed illustration that separates it completely from the standard Celebi V frame. It is a certified stand-alone display piece and a PSA/BGS submission staple.

Booster boxes ship 36 packs, each containing 10 cards.
