I feel like Koala deserves a Dream Ball and associated tag for always documenting new artists in these kinds of threads. They single-handedly document and promote debut artists and collect examples of their other work. This kind of labor is the backbone of communities like this and should not be taken for granted.

Thanks 
I’m very interested in the types of artistic personalities that are drawing Pokémon’s attention for their merchandise. TPC invested more in new artists this year than any year or generation before, and with Illustration Contest 2024 on the horizon things are only ramping up

Love that Tetsu Kayama feebas, wasn’t the biggest fan of their first cards even though the style was fun but this looks promising

is it just me or these two cards go together side by side? both Paradox forms of the same Pokemon and by the same illustrator Takeshi Nakamura. what you guys think?

Good eye, I didn’t notice that; hopefully Nakamura will post something about it when all of the sets’ official images are laid out
There’s a cyan hue on the cliff underside beneath Slither Wing which is largely present in AR Iron Moth, that might indicate some continuity between the two

Where are you finding these leaks??
Really like that Porygon Z
Hello,
I would like everyone to know that I am absolutely fine. I am having a completely normal day, am emotionally extremely stable, and am not currently incoherently shouting at random passersby about a Pokémon card.
Thank you.

Thanks for letting us know! Will write you down as “totally fine.”

That Garbodor AR has such high meme potential
I too am very normal and calm about these tradeable cards from upcoming set Paradox Rift.

I’m gonna need that Loudred
Does anyone know if the ancient/future side of a regular card is holo? Would be cool if that half of the card got a holo treatment.
The official images don’t appear to show holo effects for the Paradox sides, but will be confirmed when TPC’s YouTube channel likely does an unboxing video for each set next week
Big miss imo. The rock layers and tech lights would look great in holo.
