ORAS/XY5 TCG Sets - Tidal Storm and Gaia Volcano!

I can see Groudon, maybe, but everything about Kyogre looks computer-generated. The depth of the tips of his fin give it away especially.

Its how cgi should be used for cards. As a base or combo. I like the art. Also the lava ground border is sweet.

I hope the full arts won’t disappoint

I wonder if they will do the ā€œprimalā€ variant of the two in a full art form, instead of just the regular EX

We got a nice update from the Japanese website! Fairy Marill! I’m excited.

Full Art Xerneas and Yveltal reprints.

Nice.

I swear if they don’t release Mega Gyarados in this set I’m going to cry. ; - ;

I’m honestly expecting the other megas to be Gardevoir and Gallade. Mega Gardevoir is getting sleeves on the same day for one. And as for Mega Gallade, the last Japanese Gym Challenge promotional pack with Gallade-EX was a bit quirky. These pack have always had like, alternate arts of the previous set’s cards, additional new PokĆ©mon to go with the previous set’s families, and an unrelated PokĆ©mon that ends up being a preprint of the next set. Let’s look at these

Litleo, Zubat, Swirlix, and Zweilous are the alt arts.
Helioptile and Blissey are the family additions from Phantom Gate.
That leaves…Gallade-EX to be the next set preprint.

Screw Mega Gallade! He can wait for the next set! Let the other Megas without cards have their day first, I say! *waves pitchfork in air*

Mudkip line!
Fairy Marill!
Crawdaunt!
Meditite!

Yayyyy!! These are all lines that were last seen in Supreme Victors, except for Marill who I needed because Fairies.

In other news, Trevor is an English promo. Barf. I hate every single one of the XY rivals. They’re all ugly too.

Pokemon with Megas all have a chance to get EX prints of course. But we are only getting between 2 and 3 Mega cards per set which is nice for SR collecting, but bad for our favourite mons chances of getting Mega cards.

Right now there are 48 Mega Pokemon that have either been released in X/Y or shown in OR/AS, not to mention at l;east a few more that we haven’t see for ORAS yet.

Out of those 48, only 13 have had Mega cards(released and unreleased).

Personally I doubt we will see Gallade EX.

We didn’t receive multiple prints of any other Gym Challenge EX’s with the exception of Charizard EX.

is whiscash considered a land pokemon or a water dwelling pokemon??? maybe it’ll make an appearance in both tidal and gaia!!!

And yeah, you’re right. I’ve just been hungering for a new card to collect since the few that I right now are either currently not available to buy, or are in the hundreds if not thousands (looking at you, Snap card :unamused: ).

I know eventually a card will come out with my one and only, but I’ve been thirsty for one ever since the last time Gyarados came out in Legendary Treasures and that card was nothing to rave at:

But I digress. I’m still looking forward to seeing which cards come out. I always enjoy looking at the artwork. I just don’t collect it. :stuck_out_tongue: I have been tempted to buy one though, but I don’t feel like I’ll get the excitement that I used to get unless I know there’s a chance I get a Gyarados. XD

That’ll be certainly something for you if they come out with two versions. Doubtful though. XD

The mirror version of the ebb set makes it an awesome card though.

Gotta love those high quality mirrors. :blush:

*cries* Which I’ve never been able to find!

Do you just need Gyarados RH from EBB?

I can certainly hook you up if you’re interested.

Sending you a PM. :stuck_out_tongue:

I love my mirror charizard, one of the best charizard cards to date!

But more on topic, I believe the new set will get a Mew card…

ā€œAfter centuries asleep, the deep power of Primal Groudon-EX erupts from the land as Primal Kyogre-EX crashes in from the sea, riding titanic waves into battle! With colossal new arrivals like Mega Gardevoir-EX and Mega Aggron-EX, the PokĆ©mon TCG: XY - Primal Clash expansion is alive with the primordial power of Ancient Traits - plus all-new Spirit Link and Special Energy cards! Let the earth shake and the oceans thunder, and get ready for a primal clash like no other!ā€

That’s release info for the English set, however it does reveal to us that Aggron and M-Aggron EX will be on either Tidal or Gaia. Woo.
