[ENG] SV08 Surging Sparks / [JP] SV7a Paradise Dragona + SV8 Supercharged Breaker

[joponnes]

But is it too bad to interpret something falsely, it’s always interesting and fun to speculate with sets and their contents based on the limited info we get about them, sometimes we hit closer the truth with speculations, sometimes further

[koala]

New sets could be genuinely interesting from the get-go, so there is ample room for healthy speculation (Pokémon, Supporters, etc) if the theme is already established. However, when it comes to speculating on early incomplete information propelling ideas that TPC is returning with some nostalgia-driven theme (e.g. the Pokémon that makes you love Dragon sets over the years), you will most likely be brought down from such emotional highs or even feel baited and neither can make some people feel good about an SV-related theme no matter how interesting it is. Perhaps there is a better way to do this

SV7a 072/064 AR Clobbopus (illus. USGMEN)

• USGMEN made their debut in SV4a Shiny Treasure ex with SAR shiny Mew ex

SV7a 073/064 AR Skarmory (illus. Takumi Wada)

---

• 1 SAR Supporter remains

[Taigataipan]

Skarmory AR has so far the most interesting art from this set, I’m having a good feeling Volkswagen Kleinbus enthusiasts will go after it as well.

[DarthEevee]

A skarmory that actually looks chrome/glossy instead of matte silver. Who knew

[trainerjack]

I’m in love with that Skarmory! This is one of my favorite SV sets so far honestly

My favorite dragon pokemon
Love to see more USGMEN cards

[mrbubbles]

Maybe this is recent bias because when practising for the E4 Gen4 tournament almost every team has a Skarmory, but damn, this card looks so good. This really reminds me of the ‘Sunwings’ from Horizon Zero Dawn series.

Cheers!

Wow, that Skarmory is beautiful. I love how full art cards continue to highlight Pokemon that sometimes get lost in the mix.

Special Art Rare

SV7a 090/064 SAR Drayton (illus. DOM)

• Callback to SAR Lacey with Drayton fallen asleep after eating snacks

[jaxlax21]

Man, I was hoping that the Drayton SAR would have had Keiran huddling in a corner or something.

[DragonClasher]

instead reminds of me my indecisiveness when choosing snacks

[DarthEevee]

Notably not the SAME snacks which would’ve been too good

cleaned up the OP a bit. feel free to click the dropdowns to see whatever section is hidden

Note: when using [details][/details], the <div data-masonry-gallery></div> does not work well so use [grid][/grid] instead

[BANKS]

I wish that ninetales got a full art. That style would go wild with texture
