@Typhlosion_Collector

[Typhlosion_Collector]

Wow. It finally happened

[kamon]

Now that’s pretty cool.

[koala]

Regular: Flamethrower?
Art Rare: Lava Plume / Eruption?

Both can be interpreted battling Red at the summit of Mt. Silver, like Ethan’s Magcargo

[fatehounds]

GIDORA art GOATED can’t wait to pick that up

[joponnes]

Super happy for @Typhlosion_Collector ! It’s a species collector’s dream to get such beautiful art rare of their favourite

[mrbubbles]

Wow, this is phenomenal art. The AR is amazing as is, but even the regular Typhlosion, the flame line from the mouth looks so good to me. Really great cards. Congrats @Typhlosion_Collector .

Cheers!

[Typhlosion_Collector]

@joponnes @mrbubbles Thank you! It was definitely a relief to finally get one. With the whole story leak last year, I didn’t know if it was ever going to get one

[koala]

No scheduled official reveals today, it seems. I assume it is to pay respects to the 14th anniversary of the [March 11] 2011 Tōhoku earthquake

Here’s the AR/SR/SAR/UR recap for Friday’s release,

Someone posted this on a early opening stream. Eating good with this set if real.
