So unless I'm forgetting someone, that's all of Alola minus Marshadow, Zeraora, the Ultra Beasts, Dusk Form Lycanroc, and Necrozma's USUM forms. EDIT: I somehow forgot the Silvally line despite Type: Null being one of my favorite Legendaries :( Ultra Necrozma + UBs themed pack incoming? With...

Since ex (and Tag Team) refer to Mega Evolutions by their full nomenclature and not just "M" like in Gen 6, I wonder if it will be called Mega Charizard X ex.

Damn, if they didn't appear in the artwork of Meowth, Wobbuffet, or their ARs I think it's safe to say Jessie and James are truly retired from the franchise as a whole alongside Ash. I figured they would get to stick around for occasional cameos on account of their quasi-mainline status due to...

Wow, Pocket beat out the "real" TCG to a Tatsugiri card that supports Dondozo, like Arceus always intended. Let's see if Revavroom continues its streak of getting more cards than most Gen 9 Pokemon but none of them being particularly good.

Makes a degree of sense considering it's going to be a 4 year gap between Gens 9 and 10. A shame we didn't get at least 1 Tera card for each type, though.

Do I still include Probopass on my list of Pokemon without chase cards and Origin Forme Palkia/Dialga as forms without regular cards, or do I treat Pocket as its own thing? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

It's interesting that these are the headliners for the dual set reintroducing Mega Evolution. I guess it's because they have to wait for Z-A to release to use new Mega Evos. And I suppose that special Unova set will be the end of the Scarlet & Violet block and the "Mega" block will extend into...

So it seems they are indeed sticking to canon teams from the core series for Trainer's Pokemon. A shame as this would've been a good opportunity for a Lillie's Cosmog line but she is technically never Nebby's owner, I guess... Can't help but wonder if Trainer's Pokemon are even going to be a...

Would've been amusing to see Budew as a Darkness-type.

Main thing I want to know is if Jesse, James, and Meowth will get anything in the Rocket set. Like c'mon give us Rocket's Meowth IR featuring Jesse, James, Wobbuffet, and maybe some of their other Pokemon over the years. They deserve to still exist post-Ash and are technically mainline...

Auradog forever condemned to get underwhelming newbie cards. Really wish they had gone with 1 of the cover Legends instead of Tapu Koko for Gen 7. Solgaleo and Lunala's only post-SM cards were the 25th Anniversary set which basically had to feature them alongside all the Gen 2-8 mascots; other...

Missed opportunity to have Eevee and the 8 Eeveelutions type-shift into the 9 types missing from their family. Based on what happened to VMAX post-VSTAR, I think we'll still see Tera cards in the next regulation just far less frequently, especially since SV will still be the most recent games...

A Kecleon card that can't change its type? Blasphemy.

Jugulis got done dirty in this set. When I first saw Stellar Tera Hydreigon ex I thought it was a Colorless Iron Jugulis ex because of the white background.

There are only 2 slots between Alolan Dugtrio and Eternatus so it can't be the Dratini line.

I love the complete randos in the set like Heatmor and Bruxish.

I'm shocked at how Dragon is getting no support in this set beyond the potion (unless I'm not seeing something). I almost get the impression that the card designers want to retire Dragon as its own type but know they can't because it's too marketable. Like it could have easily reverted back to...

Could be throughout the I block we're going to see a running theme of the villains owning the big Legendaries, similar to Rainbow Rocket in USUM or most of the villains in Pokemon Masters. So Giovanni's Mewtwo, Ghetsis's Zekrom/Reshiram, Cyrus's Dialga/Palkia, Lusamine's Necrozma, Volo's...

Wow, Drifblim is getting its own set!

I adore how the IR features every form and love that it defies Dexit, but osare's style is quickly becoming one of my favorite art styles to see on a card.
