Did every single 1 prize Wailord always have the same attack? Feels that way...

Oh, look, a bunch of cool cards I won’t be able to get because everything’s already bought out.
My pessimism about the hobby right now aside, that Iris card looks quite strong. The discard is a significant benefit by itself, let alone with a complementary benefit like drawing until a certain number of cards. I could see it getting some play, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if it were uncommon either

to be clear, in spite of everything, the tcg's version of terastalization is somehow still more interesting than the one in the actual video games. sometimes it really isn't on them to carry the franchise on their backs.
We still have to see 18 owners Pokémon, and it's weird that there is no liepard (unless this is normal for N to have just purloin)
Might end up beeing played in Gardevoir if Gardevoir don’t get any new cards to use before kirlia rotates
I know all art is different he just looked perfectly smooth it looked odd
Nope. Personally, I'm happy to see variety amongst the IR choices. I'm sure that plenty of the IR and SIR cards will feature Trainer's Pokemon, especially now with 6 SIR Pokemon which could mean all 4 Trainers + 2 others. Furthermore, we already have 3/12 Japanese IR cards with Trainer's Pokemon (Kilowattrel, Zorua, Reshiram), so as of now there are more Japanese Trainer's Pokemon IR cards than non-Trainer (Wailord, Lycanroc).
For me the optimal would be an IR for each Trainer (for now we have Iono and N represented), and an SIR for each trainer (with reps for now being Iono and Hop), and then the rest being random choices from the selection of non-Trainer's Pokemon in the set so that everyone gets some representation.
So Hop Box is definitely gonna be a thing, Corviknight just makes it want Reversal Energy.
That Magmortar though. With the Magcargo from Temporal Forces with the ability to put fire on any Pokemon your opponent switches in at any time, you basically create a Burn Block effect that you can take to your advantage, either by combo-ing it with Pecharunt & Brute Bonnet to stack Poison or to give as a free damage boosting option to certain mons. Only problem is the Magmar is 80 HP so you pretty much have to run Precious Trolley.
Getting two Magmortar down though, that adds up to 70 damage on checkup. Pecharunt + Perilous Jungle is 100. 170 damage every checkup, provided your opponent fails the burn flip each time. Maybe Dangerous Laser actually has a chance... lol.

For me it's also the first card of the set that was revealed where I think "I really want to have that". But I would also prefer if the best cards are only revealed at the end. There will probably be a few more. A SIR with Iris and multiple of her Pokémon would be something I'd like.
Vmax was still a thing in later swsh sets so I wouldn't be too sureI cannot believe how little they did with the Tera mechanic- this kinda proves to me it’s over for future sets/ next block - so many missed opportunities - they didn’t even print a card of every Tera hat - really a shame
Love what’s coming up here - all looking fun/cool - but can’t believe we are already done with the “true Scarlet and Violet” sets
It might be the best archetype but I feel like it isn’t going to be that good
Please give us a new Rain Dance mon so I can crush my foes with a giant whale

!!!All TPCi does is distribution of whatever the main guys in Japan put out. Whatever your grievances are lies with the developers of the VG and TCG.
Baxcalibur: Am I a joke to you?Please give us a new Rain Dance mon so I can crush my foes with a giant whale
Magmortar's ability stacks, seems a little nutty, probably not though.
Honestly, good riddance. Tera was awful all around, from the TCG to the VGC it was just an incredibly poorly implemented mechanic.I cannot believe how little they did with the Tera mechanic- this kinda proves to me it’s over for future sets/ next block - so many missed opportunities - they didn’t even print a card of every Tera hat - really a shame
