went ahead and added all of the new cards from the Generations decks that release in jp next month. We’re speculating that these cards will be thrown in the Intl. version of this set

I love that the Psyduck fan has a 2001 Tropical Wind in her collection :grin:


14 Likes

there is a chance that some of these if not all (besides duraludon since that is a reprint afaik) may be in Prismatic Evolution

for context, these are included when you purchase a special box that includes 4 of the Generations decks

Here are my predictions for the Japanese set:

Eevee will get a high rarity card, either SAR or UR. Eevee’s previous highest rarity has been AR, nothing above.

Only 3 Eeveelutions well get the SAR treatment, and it won’t be Umbreon. TPC doesn’t want the craziness that a 2nd Moonbreon (cringe, Buffet) will bring. But they probably like money too, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they go all in on him again.

I can see it now

i’m predicting a 9 card SAR set of all of them similar to the VSU 9 card AR set

4 Likes

I think it’s the opposite, all Eeveelutions including the set mascot Stellar Eevee ex at this point will get an SAR. Stellar Umbreon ex will get an SAR, but it won’t be the next Moonbreon (and there never will be). As history has demonstrated with these high class reprint sets, they will be the most abundant cards of any set in the entire year. SV8 is the first set in a long time to sell without a box per customer limit and that has a playable chase Pikachu SAR, I imagine this will be too

Is it just me that thinks the pack artwork looks very boring ? Assuming the one shown is official

Looking forward to high availability
@inertgeometry autism will be satisfied with a 9 card SAR set

It reminds me of Indonesian packs. Instead of the typical one large artwork, it pulls different images of the actual cards.

Just trivial info to confirm that this is a high class set,

  • 187 cards in the main set
  • Each pack has 10 cards (like Shiny Treasure ex, VSTAR Universe)
  • There should be a guaranteed ex in each pack (ポケモンexが / 必ず1枚入ってる!)

I’m expecting an official reveal in tonight’s livestream, celebrating 28 years of the Pokémon TCG and the upcoming worldwide launch of TCG Pocket

3 Likes

From tonight’s livestream,

  • Only main set cards were revealed
  • Set will contain a lot of reprinted competitive staples from SV3a Raging Surf onwards, some with new artwork for JP (already in EN)
  • Mirror foil is cracked ice w/ Pokéball

All Eeveelutions sitting together, each wearing a fun, whimsical cheese hat. The setting is a colorful and vibrant meadow, with flowers surrounding them. Each Eeveelution has its unique themed cheese hat that reflects its type.
