This art is so cute :)

This is the first time that Darkrai has appeared as a non-star-rarity card. I’m sure that, if this were a set besides Fusion Strike, it might’ve been a non-holo rare–but because FST is so inundated with rare cards, this lil’ guy got delegated to uncommon rarity.

What is this strange city that has a statue of Karen in it??
This card was never banned, but Lysandre’s Trump Card was, which shuffles everything in the discard back into the deck which is way more busted than just all Pokemon.
Bob
What the heck is this artwork lol
Louis Strasbourg
I love this artwork. Super cool.
Louis Strasbourg
I wonder who this guy is. I love the cards from the E-reader and ex eras that just made up characters to be supporters.
Louis Strasbourg
Was this card ever banned?

This artwork is so cute!

Looks like you get 10 extra HP back in exchange for only being able to target your active/no special condition removal. I would say it’s not worth it, but I’ve seen a few people trying it.
Actually, the new Pokemon Breeder doesn’t count as a reprint. The text change is completely different from the old one. Unlike Bill, Erika, and Computer Search which have the same text as their older versions, other Trainer cards like Pokémon Center and Pokemon Breeder that share the same name but have different text flavor don’t count as reprints. The text flavor of those cards have been heavily altered. If they were to share the same text flavor then yes they would have definitely count as reprints.
I think Walrein · Dragons Exalted (DRX) #31 takes this concept and makes it work. The second attack costs more and does less, but guarantees the Defending Pokémon will be Paralyzed. The attack just can’t be used consecutively.

This is one of the cutest Pokémon cards I have ever seen! I LOVE it so much!
Bob
OK this art is terrifying
Louis Strasbourg
Pretty wild that Ice Beam costs one extra colorless energy and does 20 less damage for the *50% chance* that you MIGHT paralyze the defending Pokemon.
Nice easter egg that they had Kawayoo come back and do this art, cuz they also were the exclusive artist of the original C Pokemon :)
Weird Al
The “C” is for Champion but it might as well be for “Cynthia” cuz they’re only her Pokemon! (at least, until Iris came along in 2021) It would’ve been cool if they had C Pokemon in the HGSS era, and we’d gotten Lance’s Aerodactyl, Dragonite, etc.
Weird Al
This art is so cool. It looks like some creepy flying space bat.
Stuart Newsby
Looks like there’s a Thundurus or someone up there trying to give Eevee a very bad time!!

The bottom-left logo on this McDonald’s set is cool.

I can only assume that’s why the card sells for so much, being a competitively middling uncommon card.
Stuart Newsby
this art is so so cute :)
Bob
I love how in the HGSS era, the people making these cards were in full-on denial that Lugia wasn’t water-type lol.
Weird Al
Is this the longest move name in the history of the TCG?

+Louis Strasbourg I look all of them up on google sleepy is a adjective, and lost is also an adjective .
Louis Strasbourg
“Sleepy Lost.” Is that a noun or an adjective or a verb?
SPIRE_FAN
Awesome card, I remember my friend running it at Battle Roads and having to remind people it wasn’t an EX. Also talk about a price raise!
Bob
Actually, 16 years–I forgot that the Dark Tyranitar · Team Rocket Returns (TR) #20 was dual fighting/darkness type
Bob
First fighting (rock)-type Tyranitar in 20 years

This card really doesn’t seem very good.

+Bob I Think that Vileplume is in a forest And that is a whole lot of sunshine shinning on top of Vileplume in the artwork.
sam
Post a picture? Sounds like a fake card to me.
jhjhjh
i have this card too and the back of it is a pikatchu photo and i want to sell how much it costs

Love this energy
Richard Rich
Why does this exist when it only heals 10 more extra damage compared to Pokémon Center Lady · Sword & Shield (SSH) #176?
Bob
Where are they supposed to be in the Pokemon universe? IRL it looks like St Petersburg Russia, or Budapest Hungary!
bill
i have this card and want to sell it.

The art on this card makes me wonder if Voltorbs and Electrodes worship the sun as the most powerful ball of energy.
JP
Oh and Mew VMAX haha, can’t believe I forgot that one. It came out after this Pikachu though.
Others with free retreat are Corviknight, Togekiss, and Butterfree. Only Mew and Jolteon are competitive right now, however.
JP
Jolteon VMAX also has free retreat!
PokeBoy23
the first vmax i see that has no retreat

NANDA?
PokeBoy23
most adorable vmax ever and its alternate art

Fitting that Tyranitar would have a Thanos type of attack. Half of all life… takes 60 damage.
firebird
cute card
Louis Strasbourg
Man, I want this card. It’s so beautiful.
Bob
This wasn’t the last time Deoxys’s alternate forms appeared in the TCG, but it is the last time they each had a separate card name.
Bob
Until Celestial Storm, 10 years later in 2018!
Bob
Oh I’d never noticed the story in the artwork–that is way too cute!!!
LeoBN
Good to see they found a fur to keep them warm.
Louis Strasbourg
There are so many bland Victini cards. They keep making these again and again and again.

Until Chilling Reign!!

And last water-type Lanturn ever printed!

I’m so glad they brought Kimura back to do the art for Light Toxtricity–it really adds continuity to the original artworks from 2000, like this one!
