MEGA Festa 2026 "Pokémon GO Stamp Rally Seoul" Magikarp promo (May 1, 2026 - May 31, 2026)

I split it from the 30th thread as it deserves its own,

As part of the Pokémon GO Stamp Rally for MEGA Festa 2026, there will be a Magikarp promo prize distribution from May 1, 2026 - May 31, 2026

040/M-P Magikarp (illus. The Pokémon Company)
ft. Psyduck, shiny Magikarp, Gyarados, Pikachu

If you collect 3 or more stamps in the “Pokémon GO” Stamp Rally,
you will receive a promotional “Magikarp” card!
Only one card per “Pokémon GO” account (one per person) will be given. Multiple accounts are not eligible for additional cards.
To distribute the promo card, your personal “Pokémon GO” ID will be collected.
(Collected information: Pokémon GO ID, nickname, etc.)
The number of cards available each day is limited and may run out early depending on on-site conditions.

My first impression:
Love the artwork. Has a lot of popular species of Pokemon…event based promo card…checks all the boxes.

This one will be a good one to pick up!

Gyarados is jealous

All these new cards coming out the past couple years turning me into a language exclusive collector. Started with Japanese and English, then Chinese (thanks to the amazing Cubone full art), and now Korean. Plus I need this for my Psyduck cameos :call_me_hand:t3:

I will be interested to see if demand for this will follow closer to the Metamong Ditto, or if it will be more like the McPika.

I like the card and will definitely grab a few copies once it releases.

This is very good.

The event seems cool, but the artwork looks like a bunch of digital copy and paste work. And looking at the illustrator credits that seems to be true. Specifically the differing line width between all of the Pokemon looks a bit goofy. Could’ve been a lot better had they commissioned custom art.

I like the promo, but I feel like theres too much clutter going on in the card, and it couldve been more simple. Stamp rallies are fun though, and I hope it goes well.

I wonder how much this card will be on the secondary market. Looks like the distribution has been carefully considered

Am I the only one who finds this card really bad? The colors aren’t great, Pikachu doesn’t seem to belong here, the big black MEGA stamp isn’t appealing, and the large Magikarp in the middle is just a classic one. To me, there’s no real “art” in this illustration.

Metamong Ditto looks better but I will still buy tons of this.

Ya the art does seem to be lacking a bit. Maybe they used AI to make it since there’s no actual pokemon artist on it. At the very least they should have made it holo.

Just for fun tracking price…so a few weeks before the start of distribution seems eBay presale prices are $160

unimpressive bland artwork

Assets used for the artwork were from Pokémon RUN

  • This was done similarly for last year’s Metamong Project Ditto promo

I had no idea they were cutting out Oshawott! Now I’m annoyed. I love that little guy.
