What's your favorite set card of the GX/V modern era?

There have been plenty of great promos but what has been your favorite modern day (2017-Now) card released in a set?

Mine is probably mewtube. One of the first forays into alternate arts like we’re seeing today. Love the art and texture on this card

GX and flat V’s are quite possibly my least favorite layouts of all time, almost rivaling Topps. Illustration wise, the 7-8th gen era had a lot of bangers and the Tag Team Aritas (and some by other artists) are great, they’d probably be some of my favorites Pokemon cards if the layout and holo was more to my taste.

My number 1 from gen 8 is this card:

Cool thread initiative @Coop13 mewtube is indeed a very good card.

Honestly probably Vmax umbreon.
there have been so many good one’s but since this is the first one that came to mind i’ll roll with it :3

I’ll do one from each to be fair :wink:

For swsh, definitely Noivern V. Too many alt arts to choose from, but this one has remained in my top 5.

I haven’t opened as much SM era stuff as I would have liked. I got back into the hobby around Hidden Fates release, so the cards from that set and Cosmic Eclipse are my favorites. I was lucky enough to pull Umbreon GX and its remained one of my top favorites from the shiny vault.

One of my favorite GX’s has to be Magikarp & Wailord alt! i just love how tiny Magikarp is large compared to Wailord!

& OOYAMA is my favorite illustrator

This one is pretty easy for me :slight_smile: Such a cute card and fits the Alola theme well too. Also love having a Pokemon and its regional form in the same card (could be wrong but its the only one besides Muk that’s done that?)

I won’t ding you for choosing a promo since you also chose a set card

Fates that are Hidden

Edit: Realized you meant what card. Ya I’m rolling with Hidden Fates Umbreon as well. I pulled almost the whole set myself and was definitely the most fun set to open on release.

Target blister exclusive cosmos holo (a lot of these exclusive cosmos holos are epic imo. The canadian costco team up charizard will age well)
