Scarlet and Violet is breaking ground on all new ways to portray Pokémon cards. We have ditched rainbows in favor of hyper-rares (art-rares). Borders, symbols, foil patterns have all been reimagined for the benefit of us collectors and trainers. The full set list for our premier Scarlet and Violet cards has been revealed and with it, the awe inspiring artwork of the hyper rare art cards. The artists have made a shift towards storytelling over simple shine and sparkle. I’ll show you some breathtaking examples.
the price of a Pokémon pack has gone up. The cost has gone from $3.99 to $4.49. This is partly to do with rising costs. However, Pokémon has made up for the price hike with a fun surprise. Each pack will now come with 3 guaranteed holofoil cards. 2 of them will be reverse holofoil and one holofoil rare. Non-holo rare is a thing of the past. This means more sparkle and more fun in every pack.

Scarlet and Violet is ushering in a new era of rarities and rarity symbols for both Japanese and English cards. The little symbol in the bottom left corner of the card is your indicator for how lucky you got. Here we're going to walk through them all so you're prepared for those crazy pulls.
The show must go on, and 2 new trainers are starting journeys of their own. Meet Liko “the girl with the awe inspiring pendant” and Roy “the boy with the mysterious Pokeball. Together with Professor Friede and his Captain Piakchu they will set off on their own adventures starting April 14th in Japan.
The new pattern is much more exciting. It looks almost mosaic with various size stones accenting a large type symbol. Even though these are not the chase cards, the sheen adds a whole level of beauty to a completionist. Here are some examples gathered from EBay, Reddit, and our friends at Pokebeach
