Special Art Versions of Tyranitar V and Empoleon V! By: Water Pokémon Master Posted 1 month ago to TCG 46 comments Special art versions of Empoleon V and Tyranitar V have been revealed from S5 Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master! We translated the entire set today. The rest of the set’s secret rares will be revealed by Tuesday, so stay tuned!
THESE ARE AMAZING OMGGG I assumed the VMAXs would all get Alternate Art FAs, but not the regular Vs; this is a very welcome surprise <3
Pros: Level Ball, Durant makes an interesting comeback, Orbeetle and Luxray look interesting, Conkledurr and Obstagoon seem like something the DeciGoons players might want to check out. Speaking of Decidueye: does Corviknight VMAX negate Decidueye’s ability? How many Grass-resistant Metal type Pokemon (with Metal Saucer and Zacian) are they going to create to counter one single Pokemon also with Welder in format? If they hate Pokemon like Decidueye so bad, why do they even make them?
No Kecleon? It was litterally advertised on a poster and it’s not here! No lycanroc either which a friend of mine likes a lot. Don’t scam us like this, Pokemon!
OOOH. I need that Empoleon, yup. That's an absolutely fantastic looking card. Man, they're really being nice to my favorite Pokemon these days. Darmanitan got its first Ultra Rare ever, and shinies (albeit as the Galar forms), and now this. Man, I'm really loving this.
Wow, that Tyranitar artwork is so good! I love that art style! So happy to see these special art version of cards with multiple Pokemon again!
Another Chimecho! That will be 2 English sets in a row, I feel spoiled lol. The press release for Battle Styles stated 60 "Battle Style" cards, but I only count 36 here. Hmm...
OMG, this is just awesome! And I thought I was a sucker for FAs before... wow! I’m higher than a Slowpoke that they actually resurrected the Special FAs. I agree with Chimecho3000’s prospect that these may be for the Battle Stylists only, but even so, it’s so wonderful to see charming artwork like this on cards again!
Remoraid gives me Feebas vibes, Carnivine is horrifying and I love it. Also the Mawile looks like it came right out of the HSGS era, kawayoo's outdone themselves yet again.
It just occurred to me to look at their set numbers, and they pretty much do confirm that non-Battle Style Pokemon do not have alt arts while Battle Style Pokemon have both a full art and an alt art.
Art-wise it is amazing to see that the special full-arts are continuations of other pieces of art in this set. Just look at that Tyranitar busting into Pignite's regular art. Same for Empoleon in Mienfoo's. What a treat.
is anyone going to tell him or her that orbeetle is a psychic type and rowlet & alolan exeggutor-GX only works with grass type pokemon.
