My precious 3 votes go to:
, ex Deoxys (best Ray artwork of all times, unsurpassed till today)None of XY era’s Rayquaza tcg artworks appeal to me. Should also include card number to minimize confusion which card is which, especially if there are multiple cards within the same set.
Hmmm looking at all of these cards makes me think that Rayquaza’s design just doesn’t really translate well to still, card art. Yikes
yeah it was painful collecting all of these images. there are only a handful i personally enjoy
Now you know why my reddit poll didn’t include all Umbreon cards?
Those lesser-known ones are lesser-known for a reason.
it’s not up to me to decide which cards can be voted on. that’s not how democracy works.
Lesser known cause hypebeasts can’t be bothered to do research anyways nor dig deeper into the hobby outside of surface level hype cards.
A card’s popularity is not due to a nobody like me. I’m not an influencer, and not a youtuber, not really an investor too. I only have 1 copy of each card.
If after so many years since release and it’s still popular, you guys need to be aware it’s no longer hype but real demand which is driving a card’s popularity till today.
Till today, even if when prices dipped, people are still buying it as and when it is available for sale, then it is definitely not hype. Even in my local online communities.
hi hello, this is about rayquaza. thank you.
We should do one for all EX cards 2003-2007!
Id love to see how it differs from the set ranking. I personally ranked some sets low but a few exs in them id put higher
we kinda had that with the tier maker thread right?
yeah sorta, maybe it would be more or less the same. I just thought it would be interesting to see. I rank some exs in dragon A tier and some others in dragon F tier lol
oh you meant the ex pokemon, not the ex sets.
yeah that would be interesting for sure. i’d also be curious to see which ones are favored
Awesome thread, didn’t know there were that many Japanese versions of Rayquaza
This poll was much harder than the first one for Umbreon. In first place I like older cards but at same time I couldn’t leave out certain modern stuff like XY-P EX Normal Type (Shiny Recolor), participating in coupon exchange campaign during Emerald Break release was so much fun. 
Maybe it’s because I like Umbreon a lot, but it feels like there are a lot fewer Rayquaza cards that are good. 
nah its simply that ray has a significantly larger % of bad arts (imo)
the first poll will be up for a few more hours. i’ll consolidate when i get home from work (and will try to make it more clear which artwork is which when building the poll and image gallery)
final round is up. sorry i scuffed the results from the first round. you’re just going to have to trust me 
also, lmk if this method of laying out the cards is any easier to decipher which one it is you’re voting for.
Lemme just say, Gold Star ray has never been good and all you “tru collectors” out there pretending it is cuz it’s super valuable are the problem with this hobby.
That being said.
I voted it third.
