The Illustration Rare version of Magikarp was revealed from the upcoming Japanese set SV1a Triplet Beat, which releases on March 10th. Cards from this set will most likely become part of our Paldea Evolved releasing at the end of June.
Magikarp – Water – HP30
Basic Pokemon[W] Skilled Jump: 10+ damage. Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, this attack does 20 more damage.
Weakness: Lightning (x2)
Resistance: None
Retreat: 1
This is illustrated by Shinji Kanda, the same artist as the Giratina Alternate Art which is also extremely complex. I love their style and are well known for these sort of pieces.
Kanda is easily one of my favorite artists currently doing art for the TCG. Love the style as it's so refreshingly different from everyone else's.
we're getting SV1s and SV1v + the starter decks, doing those 2 PLUS SV1a would've been too much. our SV2 will be SV1a + SV2c and SV2s i'm assuming (clay burst and snow hazard)
Successful ratio
It won’t. It’s an Art Rare so it will be easier to pull than current alt arts. More akin to a Trainer Gallery card.
