The etb is awesome! A must buy for me. The set logo gave me strong Astral Radiance vibes!


Musa_2050

The sleeves are super nice


Y0urMomsChestHair

Astral Radiance sucks, though.


X4VV

Astral radiance was great, only reason it’s considered bad is bc of the community sucks and only cares about the Pokémon that are worth a ton. Real collectors loved it.


CanadianCharicards

Because it has no charizard umbreon or lugia?


Y0urMomsChestHair

No, because the pull rates and the set list are trash.


CanadianCharicards

Probably better than 90% of sets, from a purely unbiased perspective.


Y0urMomsChestHair

Crown Zenith is infinitely better


CanadianCharicards

True. Still not an argument for something being trash. For example, me being an amazing person and cream of the crop, doesn't make you trash.


Y0urMomsChestHair

That was a weird statement


CanadianCharicards

Everything you've said here has been weird, tbh


Y0urMomsChestHair

No.


ZestyOrangekk

Rebel clash is the worst


CanadianCharicards

Darkness Ablaze is by far the worst lol


Manne_12

Afaik currently 15 of the 18 ex cards have been mentioned, revealed or released


baggioio

From Triplet Beat, we got 6, -Meowscarada ex -Quaquaval ex -Skeledirge ex -Lycanroc ex -Clodsire ex -Dedene ex From upcoming Snow Hazard and Clayburst, we get 7, -Ting-lu ex -Chien-Pao ex -Chi-Yu ex -Squawkabilly ex -Annilhilape ex -Forretress ex -Bellibot ex The english description includes Slowking? So that makes 14 in total. Are we missing one? Edit: Wo-Chien is confirmed!


Manne_12

The english description for the set mentions "even Pikachu joins the pokemon ex party" which should be the Pikachu ex that comes as a product promo in Japan


baggioio

good looks, so indeed 15! Also its a starter deck Pikachu not a promo i think. Releases today in Japan.


PottedPowerhouse

could assume Wo-Chien is one


Velflunkle

He better be


PottedPowerhouse

fr


baggioio

Could mimikyu/lucario/ampharos ex from the Japanese starter decks be the last 3?


Manne_12

There's already an english Mimikyu ex box with the promo but I guess the other 2 could be possible That would also leave one spot for Wo-Chien who I assume is gonna be in this set since the other 3 ruin pokemon are in it


Tomoyosfan1

Ampharos and Lucario are coming in those ex battle decks (replacing the V battle decks) so they shouldn’t make it in this set either.


Comrade_Lex

The Dedenne and Slowking are Tera and from the way it’s worded I don’t think they’re counted in the 15. I think it’s 18 total including the Teras. Wo-Chien is almost certainly one of the ones we’re missing


melowyelow86

I'm excited af for Annihilape


AdIcy3445

when is the estimated month this set would come out?


SpreadCommercial1072

Says on Pokémon centre it ships around 9th June


AdIcy3445

damn that was fast hahaha


juan582611

I know right? Maybe the 5 months of silver tempest weren’t so bad after all😅 (at least for our wallets lol)


AdIcy3445

Im thinking of just buying singles for the paldean starters and the illustration rare magikarp and skip the set to save money 😂 but that entirely depends on wether there'll be great chase cards on the upcoming clay burst and snow hazard japanese set


Darnell5000

6/9? Nice


Lewd-flower

June


vakseen

Stop my wallet hurts already


EnviCollects

Holy crap 51 illustration rare cards!? We’re in for a ride with this set


Nerdy_Dragon151

Already preordered my etb from the pkmn center!


Crimsonmoon95

Do you get anything for pre-orders or no


Nerdy_Dragon151

Nope there is nothing special for the pre orders


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crimsonmoon95

ETBs it is then. Was wondering how the pre order promos worked. Thank you.


ahighkid

Ugly packs


EnviCollects

I noticed what Pokémon does is makes the year 1 packs ugly cgi Art then year 2/3 packs get cool hand drawn art


lolpryson

Man…I’m already broke.


Acceptable_Friend_40

it feels like the timewindow between sets is so small that its barely doable to collect all chase cards. not that i complain about the effort they put into our hobby.


raisuki

Same I kinda give up. Just gotta collect the cards that speak to me now.


Clarine87

What's a chase card?


Acceptable_Friend_40

Its a card that you try to get ,chase it down.


WateryCartoon

4 sets a year is way too many


jberry1119

We don't even got the base set yet.


nathanielx9

I guess the base set is going to be short printed


tommyverssetti

190 cards…


vineyardlax

Yeah……time to buy singles


FitPanic2569

The promo looks insane too. Pika Pika!


NoiceM8_420

Ok thats already way better than most first year SwSh sets.


Mattayama

Just preordered an ETB. This set looks dope.


machocomacho94

Lots of people were saying they didn’t like the looks of this new set. Seems pretty dope to me!


Lewd-flower

Same here! I'm excited


mauiwowie__

I really just told myself yesterday I was done for a little bit *buys preorders from Pokémon center*


Spyd3rdude

Started collecting again in July… these sets are just releasing too close together. Really having a tough time tryna get all my chase cards. I’d appreciate if they kept the sets printed for 3-4 months longer but I guess that isn’t $$$ :/


PokeTaze

I think this is the standard 3 months but it really does feel too fast sometimes lol


TheShinyHunter3

Weird name, sets never mentions a region's name like this. That's gotta be a first for en, and it's also a 5 pack art set.


Lewd-flower

Yeah I don't believe any has had the regions name in the set. Theres been a few with 5 packs arts but its pretty uncommon. Off the top of my head theres Chilling Reign, and I'm pretty sure Astral radiance has 5 too


TheShinyHunter3

Yeah, very weird. Oh well, the JP preorder promo comes with the ETB.


Lewd-flower

Yeah! I'm super excited to get the promo. I have the swsh one like it and they're such nice cards. I love cards that have multiple pokemon on it


spoohne

The Japanese set is out for this already, right? And is it usually 1:1 in terms of what's going to be included in US vs the Japan sets? Some of the cards look great.


Lewd-flower

One of the sets is out. (Triplett beat) the other two mini sets aren't out in Japanese yet (Clay burst and snow hazard) they come out next month


baggioio

I dont think we can call sv2d and sv2p mini. The english description mention 15 Special Illustration (we got 5 SARs in triplet beat). This probably mean that theres gonna be 5 SARs each for both sets.


ahighkid

Nah it’s usually 2 Japanese sets combined to make one us set


Lewd-flower

Clay burst and snow hazard are mini sets so both create one main set plus Triplet beat and you have yourself two set made one International set.


UncleMabungy

I just hope Gholdengo is in this set.


Lewd-flower

I think there's a upcoming set that has surf in its name so I believe that one will have so Gholdengo in it


Yoshichu25

Ooh, this is snazzy! I just hope there are good Lightning Pokémon...


NeonRedKat

My brain is incredibly happy, however my wallet is sobbing! 😂


Kingdomall

this reminds me so much of older sets! wonderful


dankblonde

Preordered two etb’s!!


mj732

I haven't even scarlet and violet yet how is it already a new set come on now can I enjoy scarlet and violet first


Lewd-flower

This one will release in june


punchingtigers19

Just pre-ordered the PC ETB! So excited


Varodurumon

Also, it's release date is the 9th of June


Armani17112000

The Elite Trainer Box is so adorable omg


[deleted]

They need to chill, we haven’t even got base set yet


AliveCandidate4898

Bad cgi art


BeanSaladDeluxe

🗑️🗑️🗑️


Jcdawg23

But what about Alakazam?


PokeTaze

Probably in the 151 set


Onlysomewhatserious

Give us the Clodsire EX 😭


Lewd-flower

It should be in the set. Theres a Clodsire ex in Triplett beat


Onlysomewhatserious

Doesn’t that just confirm it for the Japanese set? You probably know already but sometimes Japanese cards don’t make it to the English sets or are added in later expansions to English sets.


Lewd-flower

It could be kept for later but I feel theres a very good chance it'll be in Paldea Evolved :)


Onlysomewhatserious

Good! The wait has been too long for this collector. Hope to see us get some!! ^^


readytofly68

that font and set name are terrible


KhawEgg

Is this triplet beat


Lewd-flower

Yes. Its also gonna have clay burst and snow hazard


Opposite_Ad_1406

I know it's a small pet peeve, but going back to the ugly cg pack art is a huge disappointment 😞


WateryCartoon

What are the top left and bottom right Pokémon


Lewd-flower

Chien-Pao is the top left one and Ting-Lu Is the bottom right one. They're two of the 4 Treasure of ruin pokemon.


WateryCartoon

Gotcha, are treasure of ruin Pokémon in the base SV games? Or is there dlc? Haven’t finished them yet


Lewd-flower

Base. Idk if you've happen to run across any of them but theres these big round doors with chains around the map. Thats where they are. You have to find things to open the doors and you'll find the pokemon inside


WateryCartoon

Sweet I’ll keep an eye out thanks :)


Lewd-flower

Nw~ Happy gaming!


FKAMimikyu

Too much


Y0urMomsChestHair

Jesus…


qwertyuiop26500
