This reminds me of SM Switch’s SR print in terms of being “a long-standing Trainer gets a Full Art print, but because of the BW-on approach to Item cards, the artwork is kind of mundane.” I know some might the Energy Switch artwork was never that exciting, even when it did have Pokémon in the artwork, but I disagree. If nothing else, wouldn’t it be neat to bring back the HGSS-era rendition of Energy Switch for a SR gold card like this? You did just have PLA come out..

Not to mention they used the old style with no issue in the Celestial Storm prints of Super Scoop Up, Switch, and Energy Switch. I personally see zero appeal in these full-art Items; they would’ve been a great opportunity to show the items actually interacting with pokemon in some capacity.
