Team Rocket’s Wobbuffet from “The Glory of Team Rocket” Revealed!

Damn, if they didn't appear in the artwork of Meowth, Wobbuffet, or their ARs I think it's safe to say Jessie and James are truly retired from the franchise as a whole alongside Ash. I figured they would get to stick around for occasional cameos on account of their quasi-mainline status due to Yellow/LGPE, but combined with the fact that they haven't returned to Go or Masters in over 4 years (and all official Masters material that includes every released Trainer always omits them and Ash) this feels like the final nail in the coffin.

Makes sense from a branding perspective, but still sad to see them go. A folder with the Rocket Trio was the first Pokemon merch I ever owned.

The TCG doesn't really like using anime only characters. It's only happened on rare occasions in the past and I never really expected them to be in this set especially since they were in none of the promotional art.
 
Bravery Charm on Mewtwo take a huge hit switch to this and push all damage off Mewtwo. The deck is making small improvements.

Yeah, Jessie and James are only briefly in Pokemon Yellow/Let's Go for mainline games.

The TCG is based on the games first and foremost, always has been. That's why we have Red instead of Ash and Blue instead of Gary.

Because the attack name is "Gemstone ..." the restriction is likely Tera Pokemon. Some have also speculated it could be owner's mons.

Anything other than those two would be way too strong for a single prize basic for 2 energies.

I would be surprised if they do something about teras as they definitely won't be printing any new ones

It’s nothing new. Spiritomb PAL for example blocks V abilities and was released after they stopped printing them.
 
the art on the normal rare is messing me up… the way it’s turning and you can see how its built on the inside😭

That doesnt make sense, why would it only copy tera attacks if its a prerelease promo in a set with no tera mons?

The mimikyu that still has to be fully revealed is going to make the deck so much better. It has a copycat attack like genome hacking but with the way the text lines up there might be one restriction on it, like opponents active "basic" pokemon

False, the text look exactly like its written on Mew ex
 
card art is cool but the attack seems useable but niche but with double rocket energy could be good

This actually looks pretty cool. Mewtwo with a bravery charm has 330 hp, a number a lot of decks aren't aiming for anymore. It only takes one attachment with the special energy, and Giovanni lets you pivot the 3 retreat Mewtwo easier. I wasn't sold on the deck originally, but I think this might help

Don't forget Rocket's Spidops/e-switch! That's how you power up Rocket's Mewtwo ex in one turn (Paired with Double Rocket Energy), that's how you get the discard fodder for Mewtwo, and that's how you afford luxuries like Rocket's Wobbuffet.
 
Okay, not a bad art rare, still miffed with Pocket though. Of course Jessie and James wouldn't appear here. As soon as we glimpsed Archer and the crew this was going to be gen 2 Rocket, not gen 1.
 
I don't think Jessie and James were gonna be a tipping point for a set that already has Cynthia, Misty, Ethan, Steven, Marnie, Giovanni, Mewtwo.....
