Perfection!!

I was expecting a badass card, that boring

This is what we get for ho-oh getting shafted in silver tempest

Love the art a ton I just know it will look amazing in person

 

[Matteloop]

Pretty generic, looks like deck box artwork

 

[perrytheplatypus247]

the SIR art took a surprisingly soft approach to ho-oh, it looks way less fierce than either the regular ex and pack art

it’s giving “chicken attempts first flight”

Pretty happy with this choice, I have a few of this particular artist's cards in my collection

 

[Charmaster:)]

It kind of reminds me of Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You! The reeds and the sky particularly.

That's... quite disappointing. Was hoping for an artwork with the Bell Tower. This one is rather generic.

 

[Pompidumbreon]

It looks like a shiny fearow right now. So sad for a legendary to be on a card like this...

I agree. I think the overall design and colours are not bad, but Ho-Oh's pose looks strange.

How’s that? It looks like a big bird flying alongside a kid? The pose itself is not strange to me and given the other 4 SIRs I don’t even get what people expected other than this.

Also Ho-Oh is not a fierce pokemon (which generally suck anyways) so this calm vibe fits.


I really hope garchomp will be cute and the card looks like Bellibolt so everyone freaks out

that full art is cool as fudge !

 

[gemjadem]

OMG my favorite modern illustrator atsushi furusawa wins again!!!!!!!

 

[somesam]

Meh. I feel like they could have done so much better with this. It just looks like every other basic SIR.

 

[Errffy Jones]

How are we going to go through the entire stellar shtick, finally get a Ho-oh SAR, and somehow don't include a rainbow in the artwork? It's a nice card but lacks depth of thought to the pokemon (one of the most famous legendary nonetheless) that the card represents. Again nice card, but doesn't hold a candle to Silver Tempest Lugia.

 

[Polaris]

??? I like it ???

To me it looks like it is landing towards Ethan, with its legs spread out as if it would want to catch him in some way.
And the eyes go into the direction as well, while the head is in pointing a different direction.
So it's a bit of a mix of flying forward and landing to catch prey. Not a huge deal, but strange-looking to me.

This would be more how it should hold its feet when just flying forward:
