Full Art Phoebe, Korrina’s Motivation Revealed! By: JustInBasil Posted 1 month ago to TCG 30 comments Full art versions of Phoebe from Single Strike Master and Korrina’s Motivation from Rapid Strike Master have been revealed! Phoebe and Korrina’s Motivation will appear in the international set Sword & Shield—Battle Styles which releases March 19th. Stay tuned as the rest of the full art and secret rare cards from these sets will be revealed in the next few days! We previously revealed the regular art versions of these cards with the rest of the twin S5 sets. Phoebe – Trainer Supporter During this turn, damage from the attacks of your Pokemon VMAX aren’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokemon. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn. Korrina’s Motivation – Trainer Supporter (Rapid Strike) Draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. You may play only 1 Supporter card during your turn.
Korrina's full art looks really cool! Also is it me or does Phoebe in the artwork look a bit too...shiny??
No it will not. We've had this card before (Bianca) and it's not that good, especially without ultra ball to easily decrease hand size.
I agree with that to be honest. Lillie was pretty similar, but the only reason it was played (from my amateur player guess) was because it could easily draw up to 8 cards turn 1. Not to mention the fact we had Tapu Lele-GX and Ultra Ball. Ever since the new turn 1 rules and rotation came out, it saw little to no play at all, even in Expanded.
If decks play Octillery then they will potentially play a 1 or 2 of Korinna to prevent from dead drawing imo. If you have no hand you can search it with sushi master and then draw your hand back up.
It being a rapid strike card will make it searchable with octillery though. Might be a good supporter to play in small quanitity if you run octillery.
This is pokemon. If you have a bad hand it's because you have a hand full of dead cards, not because you don't have a hand. It is too easy to draw cards in general to make Korinna worth it even with Octillery
Actually, that could be possible. I just think it won’t see a lot of play since we have better draw power now thanks to Dedenne, Magnolia, etc., but who knows? Maybe the Strike cards will change the meta a little bit.

Why use this Korrina when you can Crobat and then play another supporter...? It's literally the same effect.
Good point, but to be fair, not everyone wants to spend $15 a piece for a card that’s most likely going to give the opponent two or three extra prize cards anyways. A lot of people don’t mind, but I prefer not to spend a lot on my decks if possible. It IS one of the best cards in the format, but people still have personal preferences and budgets.
I can't just look at these stunning (as always) FAs and not say something! Phoebe's TCG debut looks to be one riddled with Waifu Taxes aplenty, and I really don't mind, because the colors and lighting of Phoebe's FA are just delightful! I assume Phoebe is Kagemaru Himeno's doing, so that's another score for the mistress of Pokemon TCG art! Let's not count out our favorite Roller Girl, either! I love how dynamic Korrina's new FA is; She's clearly skating on water, the training ground for Rapid Strikers, but it almost seems we've caught her in the middle of her slipping and falling (much like her official art)! The trend of SWSH FA Supporters depicting them in actual locales rather than flashy backgrounds really lends itself well to FAs like Korrina's! Superb art all around!
