Single Strike Master/Rapid Strike Master Megathread

Possibly no Tyranitar and empoleon VMax or hyper rare. That’s sad. I really wanted another Tyranitar. I kind of feel like tyranitar’s artwork is underwhelming…I’m not talking about the alternate art which I think is incredible. I feel like mitsushita Arita is one of the few artists who does Tyranitar Justice. Look at new discovery tyranitar, shining tyranitar, unseen forces Tyranitar.

The artwork on the sleeves for this set. This would have been able better artwork

I don’t even know what this pokemon is, but I love this card.

Looove that Vmax!


Shiny Houndoom on the gold bg pops nicely!

Kricketune Secret Rare though… you’ve gotta be disappointed pulling that

There is no artwork in this set created by 5ban.*

I would hope the alternative arts would replace the rainbow rare but maybe in the future?

Edit @ 8:40 *it appears 5ban has done a few trainers but no pokemon art.

I think most people like some 5ban work… but their portfolio with Pokemon is a lot more misses than hits imo

I like 5ban BW and some XY, but SM pretty much sucked.

I still think these Pokemon look more like characters from Kung Fu Panda and I guess I’ll never like them BUT the artwork is quite phenomenal! Would be nice to have something similar for the OG fighters Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and the Machamp line.
