Uxie · Astral Radiance, what to know.
About the Uxie card
Uxie sits at #65 in Astral Radiance, released in May 2022. Astral Radiance is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by sui.
The flavor text on the card reads: "It is said that its emergence gave humans the intelligence to improve their quality of life." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.
Print variants and how to spot them
Astral Radiance shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, V, VSTAR, Radiant, and Trainer Gallery prints. Radiant cards are a shiny-treatment rarity tier introduced in Astral Radiance. Trainer Gallery cards are numbered TG01 onwards as a parallel subset.
Grading and condition
Modern Uncommons grade cleanly. The secondary market for graded modern Uncommons is mostly set-completionist driven; standalone demand is thin. Useful as a first grading submission to learn the process.
If you are buying this card
Raw copies of this card are inexpensive enough that the grading math rarely justifies submission unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completionists, picking up a clean raw copy and sleeving it is the practical move.
