Not collecting Arcanine right now though I did start that back in the day and have a hand full already.

@arca9 Part 2 of the list.

@dromanyte

In total, up to 13th April 2025, Growlithe (Kanto) has 16 different cards in S-Chinese while H-Growlithe has 4 different cards in S-Chinese

Thank you so much
I’m going to reorganise my list into seperate pages for each language and add these in

@cryingatnight

Here’s the list.

Thank you for the list
Looks like I’ll have to be gambling on those decks at some point myself too, at least it quenches that pack ripping thirst

@Alec

Would you want to add the glossy version of the unbroken bonds growlithe?

Which language is this in? I wasn’t aware of a glossy version before.
I’m interested in all varients except for the “code” varients where the only difference is the long code on the bottom left of cards, might go for those once I’m “complete” but for now I’m pretending they don’t exist.

[arca9]

Updated the OP with binder scans instead of the awful picture I had before.
Also updated the google sheet with the Thai, Indonesian, T-Chinese and S-Chinese cards thanks to the help of you lot

@cryingatnight

You have a lot of Deck cards to find…I wish you the best of luck. Ironically, the missing deck I mentioned earlier for my Torchics also has a Growlithe (in the same randomization!).

Which deck is it we’re needing? I’ll keep an eye out and hopefully get lucky

It’s English. Some of the Unbroken Bonds build & battle boxes came with glossy commons. I dug up a 2019 picture of the Seel compared to a vending series card:

[Kratosso]

Do we have a list of card that were available in this build and battle boxes?

Is this the product or there are other pokemon included?

Unbroken Bonds Build & Battle Box (TCG)

[Alec]

That’s the product. The glossy commons came in the booster packs, though from my experience they were pretty scarce.

[arca9]

Saw you got a couple Growlithe in the thread you made about this a few years back, still got them?
If not might have to buy out some stock on cardmarket and end up with 50 non glossy Growlithe

[Kratosso]

You mean that the Unbroken Bonds booster pack found in this prerelease kit had glossy card instead of normal cards?
Because from the product description I thought that the glossy cards could be only the ones listed.

[arca9]

TCA Gaming's new video: Glossy commons from prerelease kits

Posting the video for reference here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl1zJKfZO_k Starting at around the 03:51 mark he talks about the glossy commons that came from the build & battle kits. I was interested in them, so I checked through the prerelease packs I had left (20 total) and came across zero, but also wasn’t able to find most of the cards in general that TCA Gaming has in the video. No grass pokemon at all, no Growlithe, only the #27 Litten, no Squirtle… With my sample size, I should have ever…

Looks like that’s the case, cards in the packs rather than cards in the box

[cryingatnight]

This in Indonesian.

Glad I could be of help!

The non-holo Common cards within the Unbroken Bonds booster packs within the Pre-release kits, can have a small chance of being glossy. I don’t think any of the pre-selected cards within the kit will ever be glossy.

FWIW, when I’ve first heard about this, I bought three of these pre-release kits from three different sellers. Three out of four booster packs in just one of those kits contained the non-holo glossy cards (luckily including the Pikachu I wanted And I’ve just checked, but I don’t have the glossy Growlithe nor Porygon, sorry. ) All the other booster packs were just regular ones.

And tbh, I would consider them as repeating errors, rather than an actual variation to collect. More like a nice-to-have. Mostly because a lot of modern cards can have this same glossy cardstock. I’ve seen glossy cards on:

1. Unbroken Bonds non-holo Commons
2. Shining Legends non-holo Uncommons
3. Pikachu Libre deck cards
4. Unified Minds non-holo Commons
5. Hidden Fates shiny Pokémon (both glossy and textured variants, on top of regular ones)
6. XY Evolutions (don’t have a picture for these) - I would love to get my hands on a glossy base set reprint Pikachu
7. French Temporal Forces RHs
8. etc.

Seems like it’s just a print variation that can happen sometimes.

Greetz,

New boy arrived
Absolutely adore this artwork, there’s a good handful of Growlithe cards that I really like but this one is definitely up there.

This means I’m just one card left for the English set, the Illustration Rare from Twilight Masquerade. Time to find it for a decent price.

@Quuador

Yeah I see them the same, maybe once I have everything else I’ll hunt them out, though more likely I’ll just keep a conscious eye when browsing bulk boxes in the future.

[dromanyte]

Forgot to mention … They’ll launch a new Arcanine on 16th May 2025.
@arca9 it’s likely that a new S-Chinese Growlithe will be released …

[arca9]

First Indonesian card down! Got it for very cheap from a local Vinted seller too. Asked if he had other Indonesian cards hoping they might have a first hand source but sadly it was just his bulk from trying to open the Indomarket promo packs in search of the Pikachu in the set.

@dromanyte

They’ll launch a new Arcanine on 16th May 2025

Oh nice I’ll have to keep an eye out for that, can’t imagine there won’t be a Growlithe in there too.

The art for Arcanine being a new exclusive makes me hope that the Growlithe is too

[dromanyte]

@arca9

It’s very likely that there’re both: Growlithe and Arcanine (besides Arcanine ex)

[arca9]

Managed to find this Korean version of the Illustration Rare for super cheap, more importantly though I just found the English version for a good price and once that arrives I’ll be at 100% for the English set
Sadly now that all of the English cards are out of the way I’m looking at long delivery times. Just had 20~ Spanish cards come in and got 24 German on the way, regardless it’s nice to be close to 40% completion!

[shed]

No portuguese cards, I can easily track all of them down, I even have some on me.

[arca9]

Big update, had the last English card I need delivered!

As well as 18 new German cards for my collection

@shed

No portuguese cards, I can easily track all of them down, I even have some on me.

That would be great! Not buying anymore until next month but I’d 100% be interested in getting some Portuguese cards in the collection.

[arca9]

4 more German cards for the collection.

[shed]

Double checked the portuguese ones, there are 34 of them including the upcoming one from Destined Rivals.
You probably didn’t take into account the Legend Maker(There are no reverse holos) and the My First Battle ones
