Pokemon TCG Pockethas plenty of precious cards to collect and show off during a battle. However, some cards are harder to find than others. This is because they either have a special art style, a rainbow border, or allow you to jump onto the canvas itself for an animated treat.
If you love seeing your favorite Pokemon given the flair they deserve or simply love seeing the art give the characters the entire card to show off their designs, there are some good pulls to look forward to. So select a pack and tilt your pulls to the side. See the shiny card? It might just be one of these.
14Exeggutor
A Tropical Stampede
Mythical Island has a gorgeous illustration of Exeggutor. It shows an entire jungle’s worth of them marching in unison. In the crowd, you can even spot other Pokemon caught in the stampede.
Exeggcute makes it easy to play Exeggutor in any deck, so having an illustration rare to show off is quite a flex. It also requires mostly Colorless Energy to use its Move adding to the splashability.
13Serperior
Slithering Through The Trees
You’re going to need to pull quite a few packs if you want to get a taste of the special illustration of Serperior. However, it is worth waiting for.
Serperior isincredibly useful for doubling your Grass Energy. So not only is it pretty to look at but you have an excuse for putting it in your deck and showing it off.
12Salandit
Bringing The Heat
Salandit works best if you don’t Evolve it. So it’s good that it has a special illustration available allowing you to send out your Salandit minions in style.
Salandit gets stronger when your opponent’s Pokemon are Poisoned. It also has no specific Energy requirement, allowing you to insert a bit of Fire into any deck. Though it is best used with decks that can Poison.
11Vaporeon
The Ocean Blue
Vaporeon is already a fantastic card since it can move around Energy that is already in play. This makes it perfect when you get more Energy from Misty than you need.
In addition to being a good card, you’ll be lucky if you spot this specific printing of the card. Its special illustration featuresa wide array of Water Pokemonenjoying their time in the sun.
10Dedenne
Stun Lock Your Opponent
For a Pokemon that looks adorable, it has a shockingly good effect. It lets you flip a coin for a chance to Paralyze your opponent’s Pokemon. So no switching out or attacking for them if Dedenne gets its way.
Dedenne’s special illustration features the Kalos mouse in a cozy house, preparing to eat a delicious meal. This is one infestation any Pokemon lover would be ok with.
9Marshadow
Take Revenge With Style
Marshadow manages to impress with its ability to get stronger when one of your own Pokemon gets knocked out. With it being such a useful card, it is only natural that it has a special illustration to chase after.
This rare card features a shiny version of Marshadow walking down the road during a gorgeous sunset. It is the perfect hour for a bit of revenge.
8Celebi ex
Multiple High Rarities
Celebi ex is one of the best cards in Mythical Island. This is because you can just keep slapping down Energy on it toget more coin flips. There is no maximum.
While the standard Celebi ex is already rare enough on its own, the card also has a full art and an immersive art version. The immersive Celebi ex can be viewed for a special animation and is therefore the rarest version of the card.
7Gyarados ex
An Almost Red Gyarados
Gyarados ex isa mighty Pokemon with a beefy HP statas well as a powerful Move that can make some of the best Pokemon in the game tremble.
Its full art features Gyarados ex with a sparkling red backdrop. The card borders are also darker. If you’re looking to upgrade from your standard Gyarados ex, then this is the card to chase after.
6Mew Ex
A Cute Copycat
Mew ex has multiple different versions that are all rarer than the last. If you’re not looking for the standard Mew ex, you have the full art version, a rainbow-bordered one, as well as a crown rare that sparkles in gold.
It is also good that Mew ex is a powerhouse of a Pokemon. This makes all the Mew ex variants more than just trophies to look at but powerful additions to your deck.
5Aerodactyl Ex
Stop Your Opponent From Evolving
Aerodactyl ex from Mythical Island is best known for stopping your opponent’s Active Pokemon from Evolving. This is a pretty handy floodgate against Evolution decks.
It is only natural that a card as good as this one not only gets a full art version but a rainbow one as well. The special art for Aerodactyl ex is particularly good with a prehistoric region in the background.
