Description
Wormadam – 10/172 – Reverse Holo Rare – Brilliant Stars
The Brilliant Stars expansion introduced the VSTAR mechanic and continued the Sword & Shield era’s modern design style, featuring clean layouts, bold artwork, and refined holo treatments. As one of the most popular sets of the era, Brilliant Stars includes a mix of classic species, competitive staples, and visually appealing Reverse Holos. Reverse Holo Rares like Wormadam are essential for collectors completing full binder sets or building parallel foil pages.
The Reverse Holo Pokémon card type features a reflective foil pattern across the entire background of the card while leaving the artwork window non‑holo. Brilliant Stars Reverse Holos use a shimmering foil that enhances color depth and contrast, giving each card a premium look compared to its standard version. Reverse Holo Rares are especially sought after due to their lower pull rates and stronger binder presence.
Wormadam, the unique Pokémon with multiple forms, appears in Brilliant Stars with artwork highlighting its Plant Cloak variant. Wormadam 10/172 has strong binder appeal thanks to its distinct design, rare classification, and the added shine of the Reverse Holo treatment. As a species with multiple form‑based cards across generations, Wormadam remains a recognizable and collectible Pokémon for long‑time fans.
In tournament play, Wormadam typically functions as a mid‑range attacker with moves that scale based on discard pile conditions or type synergy, depending on the form. While not a top‑tier competitive card, it is appreciated in formats where flexible typing, incremental damage, or setup‑based strategies matter. The Reverse Holo Rare version is often chosen by players who enjoy upgrading their deck aesthetics.
The artwork for Wormadam 10/172 is illustrated by Sekio, known for soft textures, natural palettes, and warm, organic compositions. Sekio’s style emphasizes gentle detail and environmental harmony, giving Wormadam a calm, nature‑focused appearance. The Reverse Holo pattern enhances the background’s reflective qualities, adding depth and shine without overpowering the artwork. Collectors who enjoy artist‑focused binder pages often seek out Sekio’s cards for their distinct visual identity.
