Pikachu focused set, dragon focused set, stellar tera Pokemon, need I say more? If TPCI keeps up the more difficult SIR hit rates seen in Temporal Forces and Twilight Masquerade, this will be the first of the top end sets in the Scarlet & Violet era.
Vivid Voltage → HR Pikachu VMAX
Surging Sparks → SIR Stellar Pikachu ex
Leaving out critical component of the paired dragon focused set.
Typically the main EN sets are titled after the theme of JP main expansions, even if there is going to be a preceding JP subset expansion lumped in
SM11a Remix Bout + SM11b Dream League + SM12 Alter Genesis (Sinnoh gods set)-> SM12 Cosmic Eclipse
S3a Legendary Heartbeat + S4 Shocking Volt Tackle (Pikachu set) → SWSH04 Vivid Voltage
S11a Incandescent Arcana + S12 Paradigm Trigger (Lugia set) → SWSH12 Silver Tempest
SV3a Raging Surf + SV4K Wild Force (Paradox set) + SV4M Future Flash (Paradox set) → SV04 Paradox Rift
What are you trying to say? SV08 Surging Sparks is supposed to be made up of cards from Paradise Dragona and Supercharged Breaker Japanese sets.
That’s right, but the title will always suggest it is the same as SV8 Supercharged Breaker. It’s a Pikachu set with Paradise Dragona cards added
SV7a Paradise Dragona + SV8 Supercharged Breaker (Pikachu set) → SV08 Surging Sparks
The moon is the only option.
So I can put it in the correct area, is this thread to inform about the set or to make an argument about investment potential?
Well we knew a set like this would be coming out in English, but it didn’t have a name before this article.
Some are hung up on comparing to Vivid Voltage, which today isn’t considered great investment but at release was hyped into outer space before massive reprints as COVID boom was dying down. Wherever you want to put this thread is fine, just making that it’s happening, dragons + pikachu, and I think it’ll be great.
Stonk doggin we all stonk doggin ridin to the moon cant stop wont stop stonkin doggin and stonk dogging this sets gonna be fire only thing more fire gonna be my bank account you get me stonk dogging straight grindin never stop never stop grindin never stop stonk dogging the future is now the past has passed stonk doggin here we go sheeeeeesh
There’s one card I’m really curious about, given the recent track history of JP exclusives becoming more sparse as time in SV era progresses
This is a deck card, is a special art, has a Pikachu and two mascot dragons, and is based on Pikachu ex from another deck. While the card itself is JP exclusive (Worlds Yokohama 2023 stamp), the artwork might not be - they can release it in English without the stamp
Exactly. This is the way.
