it’s a shame that this card and Lance’s Charizard V · Sword & Shield Promos #SWSH133 weren’t designed in the retro styles like the rest of the promos. it would’ve been cool to see a legitimate lance’s charizard and dark sylveon that looked as if they came from the gym sets or the neo sets.

I really really wish this card were better. It might be viable if Tricky Ribbon did more damage, or if the Pokemon even had more than 180 HP…

Having less HP is the premise of Dark Pokémon. By the way, the only other Basic Sylveon V card has a max attack damage of 60, and has 200 HP.

Despite being printed with a regulation mark, Dark Sylveon V and Lance’s Charizard V were banned from Worlds 2022 as they don’t seem to have received distribution outside of North America. The following cards appear to actually(!) be US-only;
· SWSH132 Dragapult [Prime]
· SWSH133 Lance’s Charizard V
· SWSH134 Dark Sylveon V
· SWSH135 Zacian Lv.X
· SWSH136 Mimikyu ẟ
· SWSH137 Light Toxtricity
· SWSH138 Hydreigon 𝘾
· SWSH144 Greninja
It’s hypothetically possible they show up in SWSH12.5 or at any point in the future, but with the anniversary year done and other with, it seems unlikely – they’d just feel out of place, right? I’d be interested in knowing if I’m wrong about this in any way – did the cards receive French, German, et al. language prints? Did Korea, China, or any other SEA edition print them?

Lance’s Charizard V and Dark Sylveon V were distributed in other TPCi rating zones and in languages other than English as well, as evidenced by the fact that they were allowed in Regional- and International-level events. (Plus these regions allow English-language cards anyways.)
It’s because they weren’t distributed in Asia (Japanese, Korean, trad.Chinese etc.) that made them ineligible for Worlds, just like how the new cards from Dark Phantasma and Lost Abyss were not legal at Worlds, because its international equivalent, Lost Origin, hadn’t released yet.
That said: Even if both of these cards were legal at Worlds, I doubt anybody would have played them.
