So far, 280 HP is the high mark for Pokemon VSTARs.
IMO, it’s broken that VSTARs only give your opponent 2 prize cards when there are VMAXes that give out 3 prizes while only having **20 more HP** (e.g. Crobat VMAX, Butterfree VMAX, Jolteon VMAX, Mimikyu VMAX).
Ostensibly, higher HP is the tradeoff that VMAXes get for the extra prize penalty, but clearly it ain’t worth much in some cases.
