@swolepoke

• Team Rocket’s Rhyhorn/Rhydon/Rhyperior (Giovanni) have been ruled out

[bk2021]

CGI ex just look worse and worse every set when you have all the stunning normal art.

Why even bother with them anymore? Not like they need to save any money.

[trainerjack]

I need to see the art rares!!!

Moltres

Is this the first non-Galarian moltres full-art? I guess excluding the three-bird cards.

[koala]

Looks like it, its first Kanto full art was in Pocket late last year so thankfully it’s getting another one

[brokeboy28]

That team rocket articuno holo looks so peak

[joponnes]

Someone on pokebeach mentioned that there’s a lot of similar vibes between the new pupitar + tyranitar and the old TRR ones

[koala]

Dark Pupitar → Explosive Evolution
Team Rocket’s Pupitar → Explosive Awakening

Dark Tyranitar → PokéBODY: Sand Damage
Team Rocket’s Tyranitar → Ability: Sand Stream

SV10 The Glory of Team Rocket

Main Set

SV10 007/098 Team Rocket’s Blipbug (illus. buchi) - HGSS Grunt
SV10 043/098 Team Rocket’s Dottler (illus. Scav) - HGSS Grunt

Art Rare

SV10 104/098 AR Team Rocket’s Orbeetle (illus. HYOGONOSUKE) - HGSS Grunt

• 5 of 12 Art Rares revealed

[joponnes]

I like how sinister looking they make even pokemon like blipbug in this set

[Kratosso]

In addition to the 3 Porygons revelaed there’s any possiblity for a Porygon full art?

[koala]

Unexpected at first, but Orbeetle fits the theme with its mind control/hypnotism like Hypno. Clearly someone at TPC’s designing team loves Orbeetle and wants it there

[koala]

I’m afraid not, Destined Rivals’s IR leak last month took that spot

[rattledkarp]

Looks like the entire main set has been revealedPerfect timing @koala…the lack of Team Rocket’s cards receiving at least a holo rare is sort of odd.
