Man seeing that archaludon SIR in English makes me so sad. Honestly may be the worst pokemon SIR we've seen in all of gen 9

Honestly, yeah. They had a really good opportunity to do something really clever with the bridge concept. Looks like a regular full art to me :/ I will say the texturing on my japanese SAR does bring the card to a slightly better light. Not enough to make the artwork any better though
 
On the other hand looking at a higher quality Hydreigon SIR its so beautiful. Inb4 the comments of how tera hats killed their grandmas, Idgad, Egawa makes the crystal effect so sublime

It got a great AR, so who really cares. It just shows that the company chooses random among the artworks to make an IR or SIR (and in this case FA)

Been great pulling 0 SIRs between a booster box, ETB and 2 three pack blisters. Thank you for nothing by lowering the pull rates this year, TPCi.

Gotta thank the pokevestors for crying because people could actually COLLECT the cards instead of treating them like stocks. Definitely will miss the early era of gen 9 which had a lot of awesome cards that were affordable

Considering his signature move involves lightning that is boosted under rain it definitely should've involved something sick like him firing off a big ass beam in a storm or using the bridge pokemon as a, well, bridge. Unfortunately not every card can be a hit but JEEZ this one missed the mark badly

It is starting to destroy the hobby for me tbqh. They should be closer to Japanese pull rates. I will probably make the complete switch to Japanese after SV
