Despite the fact that I strongly dislike these forms (especially Raikou’s). I have to admit that Teeziro did an amazing job. Especially considering Raging Bolt is probably my favorite. That said, Gouging Fire does feel similar to the Koraidon ex in SV1 to me.

Cochi8iiiiii! Gen 3 getting some love, so good to see!
Also, man those SAR’s are awesome
New Incineroar is great! I have a side binder Incin collection, so its nice for him to get an ex, last card was in Silver Tempest.
Somehow Creatures has managed to outdo themselves with the art rares in every single SV set. Holy crap those are gorgeous. The two sets of trios both feel otherworldly in completely different directions and I love it. I want prints of these I can hang on my wall.

It’s much like Paradox Rift. In my opinion, paradox Pokemon are lazy and this set along with PR are just a cashgrab and not investment worthy.

Thanks for confirming. I remember we spoke and there’s no way we were getting one. If that were real though I wouldn’t mind it. Almost gave me a heart attack.
