“Paldea Evolved” English Prerelease Promos Revealed!

The English card images for the Paldea Evolved prerelease promos have now been revealed! As posted yesterday, they are Baxcalibur (SVP 019), Tinkaton (SVP 020), Murkrow (SVP 021), and Pelipper (SVP 022).

Our promos feature alternate artwork that hasn’t released in Japan yet. The four cards originally come from Japan’s Triplet Beat and Clay Burst & Snow Hazard.

Murkrow’s attack will be called “United Wings” in English. The same attack will be featured on several cards in the set.

Paldea Evolved will release on June 9th. You can see its full product line here.

Tinkaton also looks very good. Baxcalibur's art just makes it more evident how ugly of a design it is.
 
Hot take, I don't think the tinkaton ex deck will be as bad as people make it out to be, obviously won't be tier 1, or 2, or even 3. But it won't be terrible.
 
Anesaki Dynamic still cookin even after making an entire block’s worth of pack artwork. Meanwhile Baxcalibur has been gifted with the least creative ability name in existence
I thought Akira Egawa contributed to some of the pack art as well? Specifically Chilling Reign? Nonetheless yeah they stay winning
