Tbf the HGSS Rocket Executives were way underused in the TCG. I wasn’t surprised at all once pack art leaked.

People like creating massive fantasies before the sets are shown and always leads to disappointment.

Haha, this got me! Damn, you really make some high effort memes. This is well done. Thanks for the chuckle.

Cheers!

I swear they’re gatekeeping the IRS and SIRS :sob:

Tbf they did show us 13 of them at the start. It’s very typical of TPC to leave trails of breadcrumbs up to 2 weeks before release, and even then we get at most half of AR/SARs revealed

Fun fact: Only gen 1 and gen 5 have a 150+ dex without any relation to Pokémon from previous generations

and both were chosen for these ‘generation-exclusive’ sets

So if not for

Might be misreading the rules so correct me if I’m wrong.


For the Victini BWR Battles, some key details are:

  • Each tournament will be played in 8-player groups
  • Each group will have one match winner receiving Victini and a lucky (rock-paper-scissors) winner also receiving one

TPC had already announced the tournament schedule for the first half of the event which has a total of 796 events of varied sizes, from 8 players (which will result in 2 winners) to 128 players (which will be split into 16 groups and therefore 32 winners):

Event Size Events Victinis Offered Total
8 39 2 78
16 189 4 756
24 15 6 90
32 352 8 2816
48 22 12 264
64 171 16 2736
80 4 20 80
128 4 32 128
Total 796 6948

So if we are reading the rules correctly we will be expecting almost 7000 copies just from the first half of the event (without even counting in the 2000 campaign copies)! That is way more than past Sealed tournament GXs and Vs (for example, we estimated Lucario V to be ~7500 copies in total)

So TLDR: DON’T FOMO


I’m more curious about Cheren in the participation promo pack though, hope there’s a Full Art copy in the retail packs and the promo is just a reprint of it.

Because if it’s promo pack exclusive… then things will get ugly as the promo’s distribution count will be less than half of Victini.

As a victini fan, thank you for these numbers

If the Journey Together box topper, Destined Rivals pre-release promos, CoroCoro Ichiban and Card File Set Victini are any indication, TPC/TPCi has reduced promos with new artwork outside of tournament prize cards

Why do leakers insist on using a camera lens obscured by vaseline? I don’t even like Beheeyem and yet not seeing the card clearly irks me TT
