The quills on its head are usually soft. When it flexes them, the points become so hard and sharp that they can pierce rock.

This is an awkward card as it puts the EN TCG out of step with the JP TCG in a particular way – this stamped reprint of XY Chespin coming out when it did can be taken as Chespin getting a card in Gen 7 of the TCG of the EN edition. Meanwhile, JP didn’t reprint any Chespin card during the time… as of right now, depending on how you want to look at it, Chespin joins a select group of Pokémon (mostly babies, but also includes Bellossom for no apparent reason) who have been left out of the TCG for both Gen 7 *and* Gen 8 – or you count this card and it’s only been left out of Gen 8.

I stand corrected on this point of trivia – there was a JP-only Chespin promo in the SM era (260/SM-P).

I have a feeling this will be the only Chespin card we get in Gen 8. We can probably also say the same about Popplio, Chikorita, Treecko, and Snivy in this set. Let’s wait and see!
