I used to think that too, but it’s actually been released in Japan and Korea as part of the Mythical and Legendary Dream Shine set. It ofc doesn’t have the Fates Collide stamp because of this. Funnily enough it’s super easy to get cards of the set graded in gem mint 10 for relatively cheap, and I got a PSA 10 of this card last month for ~45 USD. Might be a good addition to a collection!

Absolutely incredible art from Akira Komayama on this one card. I enjoy noticing the card artworks from artists that show they have a lot of love for a particular Pokemon
Funny you should mention Dusknoir BCR. This combo has actually been played in legacy to devastating effect. To make sure your opponent can’t play Switch or Escape Rope or attach Float Stone to Keldeo EX, you can put Vileplume UD into play, thus blocking your opponent’s outs to the constant paralysis! (Just make sure to use Tool Scrapper to remove any Float Stone or
Either way, the pull rates for those few AR’s were so high that they’ve never costed that much. I think the set could have used with at least eight more of these.

Why does the font they used for the name look strange on this card?

This is part of Shinzo Abe’s legacy. Go forth, get married and have 5+ children.

Lost vaccum? I sure hope they find it!

All the lines on Garchomp’s body make this look way better than most gold cards
Well visually is subjective, but conceptually it’s brilliant. It’s the classic trope of a superhero having a secret identity, hence why its base form looks almost identical to its pre-evolution.

It’s so, so sad how such great art had to be of one of the absolute worst Gen 9 Pokémon (maybe of all time too?), conceptually and visually. I guess that explains the <$1 value this card is sitting at.

There’s also a simplified chinese printing of it from ~2022.

That’s why Legacy Players use Dusknoir BCR with Gliscor UD. Or with Articuno EX PLS.

You’d still need a way to heal the opponent, right? Gliscor only paralyzes if the defending Pokemon is “damaged by the attack”.

Yes.

Am I correct in my understanding that Nidorina can use Dark Awakening on ITSELF to evolve itself?
Dusk Mage Necrozma
Super Rod can hit energy though.

“Your turn is over now (you don’t get to attack)” is some really funny wording

Thanks for pointing this out; it’s been fixed!

FYI: This card and #117 (Team Rocket’s Nidoran M) don’t have the Pokémon link below the card name.
