The Lucario is indeed a sight to behold, an avenging dog of war, staring you out, demanding satisfaction of the duelling variety – Mick Jagger, step aside! I am on the horns of a dilemma here (yes, there is also a pointless Tauros) as I always complain about the sizes of the main sets, but… it seems wrong to stick the Bargain Basement Pokemon in one of the most expensive sets. The reason they got left out of previous sets was because they weren’t very good – dumping them in what is a premium set is just an insult. There’s a big and bold picture of Lucario on both sides of the box, with cool blue lines on one side and fire red on the other. The April collection also comes with a TCG playmat that features Marnie artwork, as well as a jumbo-sized promo card of the Morpeko V-UNION collectible.

Fans of Marnie are in luck, as the Pokémon Crown Zenith Morpeko V-UNION Premium Playmat Collection will also go up for sale on April 14, 2023. Next, there are the broken evolution lines – Corphishes without Crawdaunts, Seels without Dewgongs, Snorunts without anything.In August, Nintendo confirmed that the Pokémon Silver Tempest TCG set would be the last mainline expansion of the tabletop game's eighth generation. The collection will include eleven Crown Zenith TCG booster packs, as well as an etched holographic promo card of either Shiny Zacian V or Shiny Zamazenta V. The set’s 70-card “Galarian Gallery” will contain the new Art Rare cards from Japan’s VSTAR Universe— pictured below — including a new Darkrai VSTAR that we haven’t seen revealed yet. The elite box will feature 10 Crown Zenith booster packs, and an etched Alternate Art Lucario VSTAR promo card.

Also inside the sleeve is the set guide, filled with tantalising images of the delights that may or may not lie inside.

However, just like the mini Pokémon GO TCG crossover set, Crown Zenith will be slowly rolled out with various products across multiple months. The sleeves, however, are bit more player-friendly, with a matt finish and feel rather than the usual shiny gloss. The Trainer Gallery in the previous four main sets are what persuaded me to come back to Pokemon, because they added a second chance at something decent that was lacking in Fusion Strike and Chilling Pain… sorry, Reign. Whichever strategy you choose, Radiant Eternatus accelerates your board state and keeps smaller Pokémon V safe in your deck and not vulnerable on your Bench.
