Welcome!
The Pokemon TCG Newsletter.
Daily updates on deals, leaks and news.
In today’s episode
New Crown Zenith collection announced
New Illustration Rare from Pokemon Card 151
Trainer Tuesday featuring… 3 Pokemon?!
Unown V & Lugia V Special Collection
Announced for August as a Gamestop exclusive.
Hopefully for us this means EB Games will be selling this.
I need that Lugia.
Canada only has pricing at the moment at $49.99 CAD.
In Australian dollars it would probably be $80 at the most.
The 2 Japanese promo cards included in this set are from the Paradigm Trigger Mystery Box:

If only they included the other unreleased Lugia card.
Machoke Illustration Rare
 | [F][F] Mountain Jab: 50 damage. Discard the top card of your opponent's deck. Machoke 177/165 Illus. ? |
Sadly, this means there is no Illustration Rare for Kadabra after his 20 year hiatus.
This is due to the fact that Pokemon in this set are in Pokedex order, and Machoke filled the gap between Poliwhirl (176) and Tangela (178).
Kadabra was also in that gap.
Maybe there will be a special illustration rare?
Trainer Tuesday
Time Space Distortion from Mysterious Treasures (2007).
Time Space Distortion 124/123 Illus. Shizurow
Pokemon are now the trainers.
The Lake Guardians, Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie.
The prices for this card are a bit all over the place.
Prices in USD - tcgplayer.com
In ungraded near mint condition, on Ebay they go between $50-$100AUD.
To me, this card is one of those overlooked hidden gems. But that’s just me.
What do you think?

Take this with a huge grain of salt.
This is just to predict which of these cards will be popular in English.
We know Iono is loved by the Japanese.
Will she remain the queen of the set?
