MEWTWO V - POKÉMON GO (BLACK STAR PROMO) [SWSH223]: IDENTIFICATION

This is a Basic Pokémon V card featuring Mewtwo, identified by the set code SWSH223 in the bottom left corner. The card illustrates Mewtwo in a dynamic pose against a city skyline, a direct reference to the Pokémon GO mobile game's urban setting. The artwork is credited to PLANETA Mochizuki. It features the 'Pokémon GO' logo stamp on the right side of the art box and possesses the standard holofoil sheen characteristic of Sword & Shield era Black Star Promos.

SET RELEASE & PRINT RUN

Released in July 2022, this card was specifically produced as a promotional tie-in for the Pokémon GO Elite Trainer Box and other premium collection products. Unlike standard set cards, Black Star Promos are distributed through specific merchandise rather than randomized booster packs. Mewtwo was chosen as the flagship representative for this collaboration due to its historical role as the first Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in the mobile game, which launched globally in 2016.

COLLECTOR INTEL

This specific artwork is a visual nod to the 2017 Pokémon GO trailer where Mewtwo appears above Times Square in New York City.

GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

The card is a modern, high-volume promo with very clear identification markers (SWSH223) and typical era-appropriate physical characteristics.

KEY EVIDENCE

1Physical bowing (curving) is indicative of the specific foil-to-paper ratio used in 2022 North American print runs.

CONDITION & GRADE

PSA 8-9

Grading breakdown

While the user notes 'Mint', the visible curve (warping) and slightly off-center left-to-right borders on the front suggest a grade below Gem Mint. Surface scratches are not visible at this resolution but common in this finish.

Condition

The card exhibits visible 'curving' or 'warping', a common atmospheric reaction in holofoil cards where the metallic layer contracts differently than the paper cardstock. Edges and corners appear relatively sharp in the provided images.
