SWSH 12.5 Crown Zenith / VSTAR Universe Discussion Thread

Mustafar Dialga? Its a blurry pic but this looks like a Heatran or Entei card

Is it just me, or does this card remind you of horseback riding Nazgûl on the steps of Mordor?

I don’t want to post the link from Pokebeach but Darkrai got a VSTAR alt art. Plus the Electivire and Magmortor alt art above. This has been such a fun Gen IV renaissance. Sad to see it end but even more grateful it happened.

yeah the darkrai tidbit was in the international press release for crown zenith, so they already spoiled it lol

I was reminded of this, mainly because of the stance and the card art looking like it belongs in a museum:

Any word on the pull-rate per box ?

2 holo, 1 reverse per pack
Guaranteed V, VMAX or VSTAR per pack

per box:
1 Sparkling Pokémon
3 Art Rare, 1 Special Art Rare (seen variance of 2 AR 2 SAR, one of the SAR is a Supporter)
1 SR Energy

seen a box with 3 AR, 1 SAR and 1 UR so the UR pullrate might be independent
