It kind of reminds me of a fan art take on charizard. I actually really like the design for this one, which is kind of rare since a lot of new designs have been a little disappointing for me.
Pokemon making sure a Gen 1 Pokemon like Charizard wouldn’t be the chase card in their new product so they flooding the market with it in cheap, inexpensive, product. Well played.
Yeah… but I think with Sword/Shield they made a very deliberate decision to don’t take all Pokédex into it and filter out a lot of Gen1-3 so they could focus on the new generations and market those. And not make the success of a product be dependant on if a set includes a Zard, Ray or any other non-Gen 8.
Of course the original is irreplaceable but who doesn’t like a little change up here and there? I know when I first saw Mega Charizard X I was absolutely indulged by the idea. This new power up and physical change looks pretty cool imo. Can’t wait to get one for a great price.
I’m actually really excited for the tag all stars gold reshiram and charizard gx coming out in the fall. The pull rate for the VMAX is 100% because it’s in a team deck but the pull rates for sword and shield are pretty good IMO. My friends and I play competitively and we have opened up 5 or 6 boxes of sword and shield between us and we got about 6 or 7 Zacian V (set’s chase card).
