My prayers have been answered! Absolutely stoked about a Hydrapple card and the fact that it is getting a ir is amazing! RIP my wallet. Also i have a weird feeling this will be a promo for prerelease?

This card is kinda really funny

Funny, my thought were the exact opposite. I was like “I keep the SIR in the dex, it’s so much better”

Hydrapple's pose and expression look strange, but they kind of always do, which which makes the card look funny/derpy, but I like the colouring and I do like Jerky's style. It's a good contrast to have a card like that every 2 sets or so.

Finally, this was the last existing Pokémon lacking a regular version.

I just think it looks like the actual pokemon out in the wild while the other looks like a cave mural or something. Plus this one has an actual dex entry as ex cards don't have that.

it’s perfect

Didn’t say it’s a bad thing, love Jerky and the card is awesome too. To me, the mural card is much more original tho. Personally I don’t care for the dex entry either since my dex is Japanese.

Loving that illustration rare, reminds me of Ghidorah.

Totally fair and see where you're coming from!

We are just going for different things!

That first attack is the most Hydrapple thing ever. Absolutely love how TPC always gets the flavour right.

 

[Kangaflora]

As of May 2025, every single Pokémon will have had at least 1 regular form each, thanks to Hydrapple.

 

[MarlinRimes]

Idk if I’m missing anything, but doesn’t hydrapple have 5 heads? If so, then they should’ve had u discard 5 energy instead of 6 cause of the flavor of the card.

Shinigami love apples

 

[Yossarian]

New Hydrapple looks kind of fun. Maybe it can fit in the Festival lead deck?

 

[Morpeko12345]

Is there a possibility that this becomes good with Sinistcha ex to late game board wipe opponents? Maybe it could be a one of in Hydrapple ex decks? Excited to see if it gets play or not. (Great art also)

 

[CytochromeT]

This is everything we could have hoped for and more

 

[SlumberingWeald]

I usually am not a big fan of Jerky but this card looks great. Also love the regular version
