Yanma · Vivid Voltage, what to know.
About the Yanma card
Yanma sits at #6 in Vivid Voltage, released in November 2020. Vivid Voltage is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. Illustration by MAHOU.
The flavor text on the card reads: "If it flaps its wings really fast, it can generate shock waves that will shatter windows in the area." 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
Vivid Voltage shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, Full Art (V and VMAX), and Rainbow Rare. The Rainbow Pikachu VMAX (#188) is the defining Rainbow Rare pull from the set and one of the most iconic modern Pokémon cards.
Grading and condition
Modern Commons grade easily and trade thinly in graded condition. Raw pack-fresh copies are the practical buy for set completion. PSA 10 submissions on a Common from a modern set rarely return enough premium over raw to justify the service fee.
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.
