Surprisingly underwhelming
what else would you expect with the boring birds?
So…
- Zapdos Ex SAR is 204/165 and there is a possibility for Mew Ex SAR 205/165
- Normal AR are probably 166-182 (16 or 17)
That means there are 22 (204-182) slots for other secret rates. We have 12 Ex Pokemon. Is it possible that every Ex Pokemon gets an alt art? Has that been the case for prior SV sets?
The unpopular opinions thread is here btw.
with zapdos, the secrets are beginning to narrow down…
166 bulba
167 ivy
168 mander
169 meleon
170 squirt
171 war
172 ?
173 pika

175 psyduck
176 poliwhirl
177 ?
178 tangela
179 mime
180 omanyte
181 lax
182? ? (guessing something from the dnite line)
183? ?(guessing mewtwo) (this would make 18 ARs)

185 zard ex SR
186 stoise ex SR

200 venu ex SAR
201 zard ex SAR
202 stoise ex SAR
203 ? ex SAR
204 zapdos ex SAR
205 mew ex SAR (6 SAR pokemon)
Please don’t curse us with 12 full art SRs…
16 (every ex and supporter)
no it has not been the case and the numbers don’t work out for every one getting a SAR unfortunately
The Kanto legendary birds have had a decent share of completed trio cards over the last 4 years, but this is the first time all 3 are featured on a card titled as only one Pokémon
Venusaur
Charizard
Blastoise
Alakazam
Zapdos
Mew
Calling it these are the Pokemon SARs.
Edit: Wait till they combine the starter trio into one charizard SAR.
agreed

Just give me the english preorders and i’ll give you my credit card details already.
Get this charade over with.
Venusaur and Blastoise 5ban full art, Charizord getting the SAR
As of June 7,
To note,
- There will be an SR for every ex and Supporter in this set i.e. 12 SR ex and 4 SR Supporters
- Number of SAR Pokémon ex and SAR Supporters is unknown as this point as it’s not proportionate to what we got with previous SV sets, though they will no doubt be fewer than SRs
- Mew ex is the mascot and is at least expected to have an SAR ex
- First 6 AR slots have not been revealed yet, one can assume they will be revealed together with SAR ex for the Kanto starters
I think pretty much all of these are better than the SAR.
I’d also throw in the NA GX by Arita.
The SAR is very underwhelming.
Probably the most boring composition that they could have made, clear sky with 3 birds flying.
Should’ve done Zapdos solo at the Power Plant or Zapdos in a thunderstorm etc.
Even ARs of birds/flying Pokemon like Starly, Rookidee, Flamigo or AAs like Honchkrow, Aerodactyl, Noivern all do it better.
Ok I changed my mind 
That Poliwhirl AR and Zapdos Ex SAR are just too good. Taking me right back to Pokémon Movie 2000.
