Pikachu, Nidoking, Omanyte Illustration Rares and Wigglytuff ex from “Pokemon Card 151!”

By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted May 25, 2023 at 10:03 PM · 36 Comments

The first Illustration Rares have just been revealed from Pokemon Card 151! Their card numbering means only some Pokemon will receive one. For example, Pikachu is card #173 and Nidoking is #174. This means Raichu through Nidorino won’t get an Illustrator Rare. Some fans were hoping each Kanto Pokemon would get one.

The Wigglytuff ex line was also revealed. Thanks goes to JustInBasil for the translations!

Oinkologne is still almost certainly better. I mean, it's already tanking hits, but with much more efficient attacks.

That't not necc true, in Paldea Evolved we are getting the Wiggily who ramps Therapy Energy from hand onto Pokemon and seeing as it's in the same line it would make a lot of sense. It probably has a higher ceiling of potential then Oinkers with more consistent ways to ramp the damage and additional bulk. Oinkers isn't like, good enough to be a focus of a deck but I think Wiggily has more potential in damage + HP + consistent damage w/ Cheren to actually justify it. Probably a tough sell though if Chein Pao and Ting-Lu are popular though.

I doubt Ting Lu is problem because he can’t ohko Wigglytuff ex and can’t shut down its ability. also Wigglytuff ex will use Dunsparce
