Top Cards in S2 Rebellion Crash
Dragapult VMAX Rainbow — The Headline Chase
Dragapult VMAX
~¥6,000 (~$43)
Pull rate: ~1/10 boxes (est.)
Dragapult is Galar’s ghost-dragon pseudo-legendary, and its VMAX Rainbow (aky CG Works) is one of the most visually striking cards from the early Sword & Shield era. The stealth-fighter-like design translates beautifully to the Rainbow foil treatment. At ¥6,000 ($43), it’s S2’s premier VMAX chase.
Boss’s Orders (Giovanni) Rainbow — The Iconic Trainer
Boss’s Orders (Giovanni)
~¥12,000 (~$85)
Pull rate: ~1/12 boxes (est.)
Boss’s Orders featuring Giovanni is the most valuable card in S2 Rebellion Crash. Giovanni — Team Rocket’s boss from the original Pokémon anime/games — is given a dramatic modern illustration by nagimiso. The Rainbow foil treatment on Giovanni’s iconic character design has made this one of the most desirable trainer cards of the entire Sword & Shield era. At ¥12,000 ($85), it’s the top-value pull from S2.
Cinderace VMAX Rainbow
Cinderace VMAX
~¥5,000 (~$35)
Pull rate: ~1/10 boxes (est.)
Cinderace is Galar’s fire-type starter final evolution, and its VMAX form appears in S2 as one of the flagship Pokémon. At ¥5,000 ($35), it’s a mid-tier chase that pairs with Rillaboom VMAX and Inteleon VMAX for a complete Galar starter VMAX collection.
Toxtricity VMAX Rainbow
Toxtricity VMAX Rainbow (~¥4,500 / $32) is another electric-poison chase from the set, featuring the set’s rebellious punk-rock Pokémon in full color.
Sonia Rainbow — Galar’s Professor
Sonia
~¥4,000 (~$28)
Pull rate: ~1/12 boxes (est.)
Sonia is Professor Magnolia’s granddaughter and Galar’s young Pokémon researcher. Her Rainbow HR card by Naoki Saito is a favorite among Galar character collectors. Sonia’s design — pink hair, stylish outfit, genuine Pokémon enthusiasm — has given her strong cross-regional collector appeal.
