We have no baseline Calyrex cards with which to compare, but yes, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is still beefy!ģ20 HP is 20 higher than the “smallest” Pokémon VMAX and 20 lower than the largest… and on other cards, has proven suitably durable even when factoring in being worth three Prizes. You may have noticed I didn’t mention the HP boost that Pokémon VMAX usually receive. SW – Chilling Reign introduced some new support for Psychic Pokémon, in the forms of Fog Crystal and Old Cemetery, so I may have been selling them short the last few reviews.

We still have a few older archetypes kicking around, like Mewtwo & Mew-GX variants, plus somewhat newer stuff like Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX, where exploiting Psychic Weakness should come in handy. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is a type, which seems to vary between “decent” and “very good” in terms of type matching. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is also a Dynamax form, but even though it says so on the card, no mechanics deal with that right now. The name also reminds us that this is specifically the VMAX version of Shadow Rider Calyrex, worth three Prizes when KO’d, unable to use beneficial effects that say they exclude Pokémon V or Pokémon VMAX, vulnerable to deleterious that target such cards, and able to tap into that tiny bit of VMAX support. It has that oddly timeless quality of trying “too hard” to be cool… but dorks like me will fall for that every time.

It is stupid, but one of the things I love about this card is its “Shadow Rider” name. Top three time! Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (SW – Chilling Reign 075/198, 204/198, 205/198) is our third-place pick.
