Another Celebi V? We must be getting a VMax too, similar to Tapu Koko and Victini.
I believe they participated in an illustration contest/Grand Prix where they drew a Charizard (I think the 2020 one? Or maybe an older one). This is their first official card!Is Teeziro a new artist to the TCG? If so, that's a fantastic debut card illustration. I want that Celebi so much!
Oh come on, Sandaconda isn't thaaaat pointless. With Cape of Toughness it can sit comfortably at 300hp, and the 2 retreat cost, instead of the 3 on the Rebel Clash Sandaconda, is way better. Sure it doesn't hit hard or fast, but the typing and weakness are good, and the tank potential doesn't make it straight garbage. Celebi's first attack wont be used 99/100 times, but it could be necessary that one time when the luck gods are against you. Yes they're just launchpads into their respective VMAXs, but both cards have minor niches that don't make them completely useless until they evolve.
- Celebi V - bland and impractical, next. 2-3
- Sandaconda V - bland and pointless, next. 2-3
Sandaconda is genuinely good because in a format where Victini V-Max is so prominent, it can survive the hit and heal with Cheryl or Wyndon Stadium.
All of this is assuming it will get its V-Max form soon enough - which it should, given the fact that now it has two basic V.
The post states that Sandaconda VMAX comes in this set. This means for Ice Lance the VMAX cards are Ice Rider VMAX, Sandaconda VMAX, and Tornadus VMAX. Shadow Rider will have Shadow Rider VMAX and acording to this post Metagross VMAX. If Celebi also received a VMAX card Metagross VMAX should be a single stike card. This is based on the assumption that each partial set has no more than three VMAX cards .
OR Flannery could be the new Blacksmith or Blaine’s Last Stand or a better Fire Crystal as a supporter. It could also be completely original OR an absolute rip-off of Flannery from Lackey.Flannery, here it come the new Welder or maybe just a new Kiawe
Now that you mention it, it probably is! Have to admit that the Silicobra debacle was one of the funniest scenes featuring Team Yell. Wouldn’t be surprised if they adopted it as this card and your theory suggests.Is the sandaconda in the alternate art the silicobra you encounter in the games with team yell? That’s so cute!
Mr. Rhyperior did the math and based off of the confirmed numbers for Chilling Reign and Mr. Rhyperior’s calculations, I don’t think we’ll be getting Garbodor VMAX... for that matter it doesn’t look like we’ll get more than one VMAX with a gigantamax form between the three Japanese sets that comprise Chilling Reign! However, it also said there would only be 3 alt. Arts, which also means no room for the Alt. Art Vs revealed here. So I’m not sure what to think.Maybe we’ll get garbodor gmax too
Technically 30 damage reduction isn’t the same as 30 extra HP. It’s actually better because it works each time the Pokémon is attacked. So instead of being able to survive two hits of less than 150 damage, it can survive two hits of less than 170 damage.Oh come on, Sandaconda isn't thaaaat pointless.

I have two contradictory comments. One, I absolutely agree that the lack of Galarian V’s is shocking, and two, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Besides, with only two exceptions all the gigantamax Pokémon are either Kantonian or Galarian, so having a nice variety of Vs is great. And anyways, Piers never used Dynamax, so while an Obstagoon V would be great, Obstagoon VMAX simply could not be allowed.Shocked they're being so unimaginative with V choices. I hope we still get at least one of the following; Obstagoon, Perserker, Frosmoth & G. Weezing.

I'm not disagreeing with you, however I think it's important to remember that they are a company, meaning they intent to make money, so I think that is something they are considering as well. I definitely can see Frosmoth and Obstagoon coming as V cards at some point, since they seem rather popular, but what is gonna sell more? Mr. Rime VMAX or Tapu Koko VMAX? Of course the price also depends on playability, but from a visual standpoint, some Mons are just more likely to get ultra rare cards based of their looks than others - even though they've already gotten ultra rares (hence why Starters, Legendaries and Pseudolegends get so much attention compared to other).Jesus H. Christ, stop giving pre-existing Vs their own Vmaxes when both slots could go to NEW Pokemon. We probably aren't gonna get Mr. Rime V or Zen Galarian Darmanitan v if they keep printing tired old mons over and over

I'm just happy that we're finally getting a snakenado card! Also, that Sandaconda alt is adorable!!
