This one is my favorite. Can't wait for the full reveal of Leafeon too

That’s not the reason. I don’t even get why people are so mad about missing FAs/ARs when it is just not the point of the set. It’s a special set - it gives the set the liberty to stray away from other SV set blue prints and it does. It’s whole point is to have fan favorites and playable class available in the highest tiers of rarity.

This might be a hot take but good! I don't love the 3d pokemon models so will take IRs and SIRs over FAs any day.

Is there really no regular illustration arts? I swear I saw it in the description. Just didn't specify how many.

They look the way they do because in addition to the silly hat, all the Pokemon featured with Tera have a crystalised effect to them. Some are less obvious than others but sadly yeah, it's an inherent feature. It's what ultimately stained the entire illustration rare line for Tera SV for me; but, that is okay for a couple of reasons. Aside from the Shiny Charizard, most of the Pokemon with Tera features already have plenty of great artwork on older cards that better represent the Pokemon; and, it means that I could save money on some sets.

Same. That's why I haven't collected VMAX or teras for my illustration focused pokedex. However if they eventually do Mega evolution illustrations I'm all in. The busy card styles of the XY era megas don't go well next to all my other cards

I think WPM added that in at the time after as it didn't really make sense, but the original set sheet had no mention of IRs in it

Oh great thank you for clarifying. I presume this means special illustration should be easier to pull or not necessarily?

I agree with you to a point but I think this design is refreshing to be honest. These in a binder all together will be a portrait in itself.

Especially seeing as there are exactly 9, meaning they'll slot perfectly into your average binder page.

Unfortunately not necessarily, I really hope they do, and it would make a lot of sense, but sadly it is an Eevee special set made to make a bunch of money, so we don't really know
