Hopefully that means the Darkrai will also have a full art as that was my biggest concern currently

It's nice that they are making the VSTAR markers more available than GX markers were. Not a big deal, but a nice improvement

There will be Vstar markers in some booster packs intead of the energy.

Why all the good cards have to be promos?

I wonder if they do the same with Darkrai or whether Pokemon will be like “nah you gotta spend a fortune to chase that muthatrucka” and stick it in Astral Radiance

Better guaranteed than chance.

If they do the same, wouldn't that counter scalpers? Maybe it might encourage it more. Not sure.

Like alt art gen 1 eeveelutions boxes? I mean they can keep printing it and eventually scalpers get tired and move on. Remember Zoroark GX being sold out virtually everywhere when that came out

That's true.

And this is a bad thing because why?

It was just a thought of mine,sometimes I get misunderstood

...That's a good question.

After all, Battle legion's a special set. With the exceptions of holiday/anniversary sets, no special set released in Japan makes it across the Pacific Ocean. As a result, any translated versions of any new cards in those sets are redistributed into boxes(like morpeko v-union from vmax climax, which TPCi might be skipping due to vmax climax being a special set, thus keeping the second statement of post true) or the nearest three-month main expansion set, while ignoring any insignificant reprints of already-existing cards. Sure, give darkrai the lucario treatment, but where will the reprinted dark patch end up? A league battle deck? Or even our May set??? We have to wait for the answer...

I see what you mean like having nice cards that come from a set and have a chance to be pulled instead of it already being there for you to buy.
