Crown Zenith’s Top Chase Cards: The Gems Every Collector Wants

Calling all collectors and cosmic crusaders—Deoxys VMAX has landed, and it’s making serious waves in Crown Zenith! This isn’t just any VMAX card—it’s a full-blown interstellar spectacle. With Deoxys’s swirling galactic form crashing into the battlefield in stunning alternate art, it’s like owning a piece of the Pokémon multiverse. For collectors, it’s the kind of card that you double sleeve, admire under a spotlight, and maybe flex a little at trade night.

What really boosts its popularity and value is the incredible artwork—Deoxys VMAX features a dazzling display of color and movement, showcasing all the chaos and power of this DNA-shifting Pokémon. Combine that with Crown Zenith’s limited print run and the fact that Deoxys doesn’t get this kind of love in every set, and boom: instant chase card. Whether you're in it for the aesthetics, the rarity, or just that sweet, sweet binder bling—Deoxys VMAX is a card that truly evolves your collection.

If there’s one card in Crown Zenith that whispers “sleep with one eye open,” it’s Darkrai VSTAR—and collectors can’t get enough of this nightmare legend. With its menacing pose, swirling shadows, and that rich, crimson-purple artwork that looks straight out of a gothic dream, Darkrai VSTAR is pure collector candy. It's not just a card—it’s a statement. You don’t pull Darkrai; it chooses you.

Value-wise, it hits all the right notes: fan-favorite mythical Pokémon, a powerful VSTAR form, and artwork that practically leaps off the card and into your dreams (or nightmares). Combine that with Crown Zenith’s prestige as a celebration set and its limited distribution, and you’ve got yourself a dark horse gem that’s climbing collector lists and marketplace prices alike. Whether you’re a battler, binder-builder, or just obsessed with all things edgy—Darkrai VSTAR is a shadowy superstar worth chasing.

It’s majestic, it’s serene, and it’s got collectors saying, “Yep, that’s going on the top row of the binder.”

What makes Suicune V such a hot chase is the perfect mix of nostalgia and beauty. As one of the beloved Legendary Beasts from Johto, Suicune already has a fanbase as loyal as a well-trained Growlithe.

Glaceon VSTAR is cool—literally and figuratively. This icy evolution of Eevee slides into Crown Zenith with a frosty grace that’s making collectors freeze in their tracks. The alternate art? A dreamy winter wonderland where Glaceon stands poised atop a frozen lake, looking like the queen of the tundra. It’s not just a card—it’s a snow-globe scene you can hold in your hand.

As one of the most beloved Eeveelutions, Glaceon already has strong collector demand, but the Crown Zenith VSTAR version kicks it up a notch with some of the most visually striking artwork in the set. It’s the kind of card that makes you go “ooh” every time you flip to it in your binder. Between Eeveelution fandom, limited set printings, and downright stunning art, Glaceon VSTAR is the chill treasure every collector wants to catch before it melts off the market.

Leafeon VSTAR is the earthy gem of Crown Zenith, and let’s just say—it’s growing on everyone. With its stunning alternate art showing Leafeon calmly tending to a frosty field, this card gives major Studio Ghibli-meets-Pokémon vibes. It’s peaceful, it’s powerful, and it’s got that lush green glow that makes it a standout in any binder spread.

Collectors and Eeveelution fans alike are chasing Leafeon VSTAR not just for the aesthetic (though let’s be honest, it’s a 10/10), but for its place in the Eevee family lineup. Crown Zenith gave Leafeon the royal treatment with this card, and the limited set availability only adds to the hype. Whether you're all about grass-types or just trying to complete the ultimate Eeveelution collection, Leafeon VSTAR is a leafy legend worth adding to your garden of grails.

Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR isn’t just a card—it’s a cosmic flex. Bursting out of Crown Zenith with interdimensional swagger, this alternate art beauty shows Palkia warping time and space like it’s no big deal. The swirling galaxy, dynamic pose, and mythical energy practically scream, “Legendary status: confirmed.” For collectors, it’s like holding the universe’s steering wheel in your hands.

What makes it so valuable and popular? First off, it’s Palkia—one of Sinnoh’s god-tier legends—and this Origin Forme isn’t just rare, it’s visually epic. Add in Crown Zenith’s reputation for elite alt arts and short print runs, and you’ve got a card that’s not just collectible—it’s celestial. Whether you’re chasing value, flexing in your binder, or assembling the pantheon of Pokémon deities, Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR is a must-have from the stars.

Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR is what happens when time itself decides to look awesome. Straight out of Crown Zenith and into collectors’ hearts, this alternate art card is a visual time warp—Dialga’s mechanical, divine form surrounded by a swirling, surreal background that looks like it came straight from a dream (or maybe a parallel timeline). It’s bold, it’s bizarre, and it’s absolutely unforgettable.

As the ruler of time and one half of the Sinnoh space-time duo, Dialga commands serious respect—and this version takes that prestige to the next level. The stunning artwork, the VSTAR rarity, and the limited run of Crown Zenith all combine to make this a high-value, high-desire chase card. Whether you're building a legendary display or just want to show off one of the coolest alt arts in the set, Origin Forme Dialga VSTAR is a temporal titan you’ll want in your collection before time runs out. 

Arceus VSTAR in Crown Zenith is nothing short of legendary royalty. This isn’t just a Pokémon—it’s literally the creator of the entire Pokémon universe, and its alternate art feels like a scene painted by the cosmos itself. Floating among swirling galaxies and radiant light, Arceus looks like it’s mid-command of creation—and collectors? We’re just lucky to witness its glory.

What makes Arceus VSTAR amazing isn’t just its celestial artwork (though, come on, it’s frame-worthy), it’s the total package: mythical status, top-tier playability, and a card that feels important the moment you see it. As the god of all Pokémon, Arceus VSTAR doesn’t just sit in your binder—it ascends to the centerpiece. Whether you collect for power, prestige, or sheer beauty, this card is the holy grail of Crown Zenith.

Mewtwo VSTAR isn’t just a card—it’s a clash of legends captured in cardboard. In one of the most iconic alternate arts in Crown Zenith, Mewtwo is mid-battle with Charizard, radiating psychic fury as the sky practically explodes around them. It's like witnessing a boss battle from the final chapter of a Pokémon movie—and you get to own it.

Collectors love Mewtwo VSTAR not just because it’s Mewtwo (a fan-favorite since Gen 1), but because of the sheer drama and detail of the art. It’s dynamic, powerful, and tells a full story in a single image. Add in the fact that it’s part of a pair with the Charizard VSTAR from VSTAR Universe, and you’ve got a masterpiece that’s as valuable as it is visually jaw-dropping. Whether you’re building a battle-ready binder or just love that psychic-type swagger, Mewtwo VSTAR is the crown jewel of any collection. 

Giratina VSTAR isn’t just the best card in Crown Zenith—it’s a dimension-warping masterpiece that broke the Pokémon TCG internet when it dropped. This gold alternate art card looks like something torn from the pages of an ancient prophecy. Swirling with chaos, darkness, and celestial geometry, Giratina looms in the center like a god of antimatter, ready to unmake existence. It’s eerie, it’s powerful, and it’s downright mythical. For collectors, pulling this card feels like touching the void—and liking it.

Value-wise? This card dominates. Giratina VSTAR sits at the top of the price charts for Crown Zenith, and for good reason. It’s a fan-favorite legendary with deep lore, competitive VSTAR power, and the kind of artwork that’s less “cute card” and more “museum piece.” The texture, the gold foil, the intense visual storytelling—it’s everything you want in a chase card. And because Crown Zenith was a special set with a shorter print window and no booster boxes, Giratina’s rarity and mystique just keep rising.

What really seals the deal is Giratina’s place in the Pokémon pantheon. As the ruler of the Distortion World, it’s not just powerful—it’s otherworldly. This card embodies that with perfect execution. It’s not only the best card in the set—it’s one of the most stunning cards in recent Pokémon TCG history. Whether you’re a competitive player, an investor, or a collector who appreciates cards that tell a story, Giratina VSTAR is the dark, golden crown jewel of Crown Zenith.
