Legality & Play Notes

Legality: unknown
Shadow Rider Calyrex V is not currently legal in Standard, Expanded, or Unlimited formats. Its attacks include “Shadow Mist,” which prevents opponents from playing Special Energy or Stadium cards during their next turn, and “Astral Barrage,” which places damage counters on two of the opponent’s Pokémon. These effects make it tactically interesting, though its tournament viability is uncertain.

To preserve the holo finish and Oswaldo KATO’s artwork, store this card in a sleeve and keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use a rigid top-loader or a binder with individual pockets for added protection, and handle the card by its edges to avoid fingerprints and surface wear.
