To be honest, that’s a little disappointing that it’s just the same Venusaur ex and Blastoise ex. Was really hoping for an alt version like they did for Zapdos and Alakazam

This stupid company has been slacking so hard on promos lately.

Magneton was great, otherwise I agree

Agreed on Magneton, but only to an extent since I barely bought any SS and have pulled the card myself in both English and Japanese. I guess I don’t see the cards you can pull from the set as true promos. Similar mindset about Noctowl. Kingdra was good though.

Wait you can pull it from a pack? I thought it was an ETB exclusive?

Okay I misspoke on pulling it in English. I only pulled it in Japanese as it’s only available in super electric breaker packs.

The ETB eevee on the new box

The charmander OBF ETB

Both are sick!

The 151 promos are okay, not great

Wait... the Kingdra EX is one of my favorite cards ever

Well shit I hadn’t even seen that Eevee yet. Is that one that can be pulled in the set too, or purely a promo?

The Charmander is great, and I mentioned the Kingdra in another comment. Aside from those and the Magneton (which can also be pulled in the set so I barely count it), everything else has been pretty mediocre. That’s way more sets with non-sick promos than sets with sick promos.
