Honestly, that Geeta SAR looks incredible! So does the Palafin and Scizor! Some great things in this set. Shows that those leaks were correct with the Cleffa/Pidgeotto, which hopefully doesn’t mean we also will get that Piss Gold Charizord.

Set layout (as of July 14)

From what is revealed here and in Obsidian Flames ETB description, the Pokémon ex cards of this set are:

  • tera Charizard ex
  • tera Eiscue ex
  • tera Tyranitar ex
  • tera Vespiquen ex
  • Revavroom ex
  • Pidgeot ex
  • Absol ex
  • Glimmora ex

SAR prediction:

  • 2 tera Pokémon ex (Charizard confirmed, 1 unknown)
  • 2 regular Pokémon ex (Pidgeot & Revavroom confirmed)
  • 2 Supporters (Geeta & Poppy confirmed)



Love the Pidgeot line… and that Cleffa is really nice.

It’s been a long time since we had an uncommon Espeon and Umbreon in a set

I don’t wanna be a pessimist but damn that dolphin let me down. If it didn’t have a form change I’d like it. And if it was water/fairy

I’m not a fan of the form either, but Akira certainly nailed its razzle dazzle superhero comic cover aura (+ you get 5 normal dolphins)

Not liking this artist’s style, Umbreon looks suffering from malnutrition and without moon??

Seriously, portraying Umbreon without moon is like baking a pizza without cheese! A wrongdoing, a mortal sin.

what do you think is illuminating the scene?

He’s clearly standing in moonlight. But yeah the body shape is weird.

Orb of light ≠ moon

Houndour #228 also eliminates the possibility of both Espeon & Umbreon getting an AR, only one of them can

Note
Houndour AR was revealed alongside main set Houndour & Houndoom

They must be reserving Espeon, Umbreon and Rayquaza SAR for some climatic top chase cards towards the end of S&V era like Rayquaza, Espeon and Moonbreon vmax alt arts.

My gut feeling.

So be it, no need for them in this set

evolving skies was not near the end of SWSH

That Houndour is BEAUTIFUL.

About time the little guy gets some spotlight.
