Worst part is that the Tera gimmick is already so lame on its own. I just don’t think tcpi did a good job on making Tera mons interesting at all unlike something like the ultra beasts who got to interact with the games mechanics in neat ways. And Tera support cards have been pretty interesting but there’s like 5 and two of them are basically made for terapagos

Tera should have been a tool that attached to change type and weakness/resistance depending on the Tera tool. That’s what made it so fun in the VGC by allowing surprise typing changes. Limiting it to so few cards basically made it irrelevant as a “mechanic,” if you could even call it that.

Honestly, good riddance. Tera was awful all around, from the TCG to the VGC it was just an incredibly poorly implemented mechanic.

I think in the VGC it's one of the cooler mechanics that reward good team building, and I think a lot of the top players share that feeling, it may not be as flashy as megas or anything like that, but I still think it's one of the best ones for competitive play. Sucks in the TCG tho

So, err... with N's Zorua being No. 60, there's no room for an N's Liepard.

Maybe it’s a full art card or an IR with no normal card?
But I don’t think N ever had a Liepard, looking through his teams on bulbapedia. He’s had a Purrloin in the games, the anime, and even the manga.

N's whole deal in Black and White 1 was that he didn't like using pokemon for battles and really only wanted to befriend them. Every N battle in the game he had an entirely new team, usually based around what is catchable in that area of the game. He probably releases pokemon he catches often.

The first battle he just had the Purrloin, which was a pokemon you could obtain directly after the town you battle him in, and afterwards he never has the Purrloin line again. I doubt they are printing a Liepard card because of this but it's odd to include his Purrloin then. Maybe they just wanted another Darkness type?

Looking at the media outside the games, it seems Purrloin is the Pokemon outside of a legendary and zoroark he’s most associated with. In the manga I think we see just Purrloin and Zekrom. So it could just be based on that? Or maybe one of the artists just really loves Purrloin.
 
Hop's bag seems a little broken, being able to seek out 2 Zacian ex with no drawback at all. They should make rule box mons unattainable with it
 
i’ve been hoping they’d give the Burn special condition some love like they do with Poison so much more often. thinking about TEF Magcargo + that Magmortar…

also RIP to Tera. i always dig the mechanic personally, i guess my idea of Tera-Flying Blaziken ex with Brave Bird will stay a dream forever, now.
