Discussion Surging Sparks Official Setlist (SV8)

With the reveal of the new set, we have unofficial confirmation of the first 161 Pokémon cards in this set,.we just need to have all the Trainer cards, Energy cards and Illustration Rares officially confirmed in order for the set list to go from prospective to official.
Do we?

If Kilowattrel ex is in, then most likely Roto-Stick is in over Flamigo ex. The latter can be turned into an ex box, while trainer cards are always in the set.

Flamigo has to be in it otherwise the number of exs don't match. That's how we discovered that Kilowattrel should be in it in the first place.
 
From today's news, I think we can safely that other than any cards numbered 192 or higher, the set list is more or less official.
 
I was hoping Kilowattrel ex was a sign that they're pushing the Gym promos a set forward. But the lack of Roto Stick tells me that they probably aren't.

I guess Kilowattrel ex got push forward here since there is a Wattrel in this set so it doesn't look out of place and can be played in a sealed/prerelease format, and it fits the set thematically.

If they give us Roto-Stick in Prismatic Evolution and then series 7 in SV9 then it would still work.

Super random and potentially the wrong forum but do we ever know the deck lists for the build and battle kits in advance ?

I’m trying to plan my binder and make room (in advance) for the non-holo variants that release with the Build and Battle kits and right now obviously Gouging Fire and Chien-pao will have non-holos in with them but I am thinking there will be an attacker in with the indeedee possibly 🤷‍♂️

never tried to get this info in advance but not moving every card 1-2 spaces to make room for the BNB alts always hurts 2 weeks after release figured it may be out there ??

The only way to know is through early product openings. TPCi doesn't reveal that information beforehand. Justin Basil has a deck building guide for prereleases and he often posts the decklists once we discover them.

Thank you very much!

I had just checked that page on Justinbasil’s site and it was still fairly blank still and googling only get you to set list announcements and the info on the actual promos…

- I guess I’m just too antsy -

Sadly, I can never attend prerelease events near me cuz work so I always have to wait until a week or 2 after set release to get this info so I was hoping to hunt for it now but I guess even if it’s a week or so I should have it before *Actual Release* still 🤪

The non-holo exclusives are:

- Rabsca (from Indeedee group)
- Gouging Fire (from Gouging Fire group)
- Tapu Koko (from Magneton group)

The Chien-Pao group has nothing exclusive (it contains the Quaquaval line).

Thank you-thank you! Very kind of you to get back to me!
This is the best news EVER as per my “set math” if we got 3 non-holo exclusives from these to put into the base set it would push the Secret rares so that the last gold lands on the last slot of page 36 of a 12 pocket binder - I was scribbling at work if you want to see the scrawled obsessions and rouge thoughts of a mad man look no further:

The fact I spilled coffee on them only serves to highlight the absurdity of my existence really 🤪 but the layout is obviously *pre* knowing non-holo and I’m sure I don’t realllllly need to explain anything else on here because again…MAD MAN SHENANIGANS

No problem. :)

Glad the 3 non-holos works out nicely for your binder. I'm a bit afraid though that they will likely release more variants in the future, such as more non-holos in battle decks or cosmo foils in Collection boxes etc.

You can order your cards in any way you like, but I suggest doing variants that can't be pulled in a pack at the end of the set. That way much less reorganizing when they release new ones. :)
