Cool art!

 

[Gethbert]

Neat, nothing ground breaking but nice art, fine enough attack and a decent attack cost; this is what I think filer should be in the TCG

Candy & Switch reprints make sense.

 

[FireLizard]

Serena but as an attack.
Nothing interesting,except for the art.

Absol - 2 Geodudes

 

[Yaginku]

These Pokemon with "[C]: Set-up effect." are quite useful on pre-releases, or even just in general on kitchen tables. When it's very unintuitive for a new player to put a bunch of Trainers in their deck, these types of Pokemon are quite intuitive.

Absol: only for prerelease 2

 

[jdubs4lief]

Yikes. Yet another one-stage Pokemon getting an almost unforgivably mediocre card. We as a people must stand up for these Pokemon, such as Lapras, Absol, and Tropius.

great art as usual from Shinji Kanda

Serena but as an attack.

Sightseer as an attack, more precisely.

 

[Elliot Gale]

Candy & Switch reprints make sense.

They actually don't, at all. Their regulation marks aren't changing. lol

 

[ThePokemonGuardian]

Pretty bad card to be honest. The art is pretty cool though

 

[Chari]

More artworks like this one please, unique and beautiful.

Ban 5bangraphics btw

Shinji Kanda's work reminds me a lot of Tomokazu Komiya's, except a little less cursed. I don't like how busy some of Kanda's card artwork is, but this Absol is pretty good. Slowbro SVI and Ariados LOR are my favorites from this artist so far.

 

[PMJ]

You want the company that designs the cards to ban their own graphics department from making artwork for the cards?

Unironically yes.

 

[Chari]

You want the company that designs the cards to ban their own graphics department from making artwork for the cards?

Yes? They suck

 

[Gethbert]

You want the company that designs the cards to ban their own graphics department from making artwork for the cards?

Absolutely

 

[Deikun]

Big Shinji Kanda fan.

 

[wenshenxi]

Shinji Komiya

They actually don't, at all. Their regulation marks aren't changing. lol

Tbh I think it’s just so people can pull more of them—as if we don’t already have enough Switches and Rare Candy from ScVi and before…
