Collector Insights

Galarian Runerigus is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series as part of the Shining Fates Shiny Vault set, released on February 19, 2021. Its design is attributed to artist Shin Nagasawa, and it carries the regulation mark D. The card’s flavor text describes a curse woven into an ancient painting that absorbed the spirit of a Yamask, granting it eerie movement. Galarian Runerigus has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Grass-type attacks with double damage. Its primary attack, Spreading Spite, uses two Colorless energy to transfer damage counters from itself to the opponent’s Pokémon, allowing strategic redirection of damage. The secondary attack, Mad Hammer, requires Fighting, Colorless, and Colorless energy to deal 120 damage while inflicting 30 damage to itself. This self-harm effect adds a layer of risk and reward to its gameplay impact.

A powerful curse was woven into an ancient painting. After absorbing the spirit of a Yamask, the painting began to move.
