Guys it's not alternate art Dragon Vault Salamence, it has 10 more HP and its attack costs {c} less

But it's pretty awesome (for Japan)

 

[Infinity]

Well it looks cool.

 

[TokenDuelist]

It's likely drawn by one of the Pokemon manga artists, or perhaps an upcoming artist. Either would be neat, but since the art style looks familiar/manga-like, I'm gonna go with one of the manga artists.

I hope we get this over here as a promo~ It looks awesome and I'd love to have it.

Will throw this out here: there's been a previous Salamance with an ability + [R][W][C] attack, from EX Dragon. Of course, that one had 100 HP and was colorless.

Make of this what you will.

 

[Serperior]

^ Good point. Could this be a similar Salamence?

and the first time since 2009 that Pokemon cards have been released in any Japanese magazine.

Correction: Battle City was in CoroCoro Comic Magazine in 2011.

Yep, Battle City was a indeed CoroCoro promo.

This is really interesting news though, considering the franchise's heavy ties to Shogakukan. I never thought we'd see promos in a Shueisha magazine like V Jump.

I hope we get this Salamence card in English D:

I mean, we probably will but you never know.

V Jump? Distributing Pokemon promos? What is this madness?
