Komiya’s killing it again with that Porygon Z.

Also a few hidden Pokemon in those Calyrex & Glastrier full arts.

I cant wait to see the full art of Asuna/Flannery. I love how they keep doing gen 3 trainers. Phoebe and Brawly came out so good.

I am hoping to get two boxes in order to snag the Celebi promo but I am not hopeful. I won’t be able to get to the Pokémon Center until after work.

Might buy a box of silver lance now just to try and get this gorgeous sawsbuck card now.

The gold shiny Electrode is my favourite from what I’ve glanced over so far. Overall the fantasy theme/styling is pretty interesting.

Edit - Looking at the cards on a bigger screen, the non-Rainbow Celebi FA is really nice! And the はくばバドレックス SR (Sorry no idea what this Pokemon is called lol) is epic!

Definitely some cool if a bit OTT cards in this set.

Some stunning Alternate arts!


Question though,what is the pull rate on SR/HR in Japanese Booster Boxes? There’s 50 secret rares across these 2 sets…

Time to phase out Rainbow HRs now pls

I don’t have a ton of experience with Japanese cards, but I cracked a few SM6b Champion Road boxes last year and it was 1 per box.

usually 1 SR/FA but sometimes you can get 2 but it is so so rare based on experience.

Japanese Pull Rates are pretty darned sucky, but again then I still see that Orbeetle FA from Volt Tackle in my nightmares so I have some negative some bias. It really makes sense to just buy the singles and open one box or so for fun.

I love these alt arts but I can’t unsee the fact that its hair looks like an open mouth.

It seems qwilfish can fly? I really love the art with the qwilfish, one of my favorite alt arts to date I think.

Saya Tsuruta’s male Indeedee was one of my favorite cards from recent sets, so I’m glad to see her doing a full art, but it took me a while to realize that Blissey is sitting on a chair and not just melting.

As for the Calyrex confusion: Calyrex can ride either Glastrier, which makes it Ice Rider Calyrex or Spectrier, which makes it Shadow Rider Calyrex. The horses are separate Pokémon, so we can expect to see them in future sets.

What surprises me though is that we still don’t get to see the new Regis. The next set might be a set with all Regis or one set for Regieleki/Regidrago each.

I’m assuming Tornadus is creating an updraft. This alt art is fantastic though, I don’t even like Tornadus as a Pokemon and I want it

I would adore a regi set! I hope they do that.
