Some sources have leaked Gyarados evoline, Butterfree, and Farfetch’d as part of the upcoming SV2a ‘Pokemon Card 151’ set. Pokemon Taiwan also revealed Gengar along with its evolution line for this set. This set will be released in Japan on June 16, 2023, with 165 cards in the set before Art Rare, Super Art Rare, and so on, and will cost 290 yen per booster pack but with 7 cards inside.
With the release of this set, Pokémon debuted several new Pokémon ex, including Mew ex, Alakazam ex, and the original Kanto starters, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Additionally, as each card number corresponds to the number on their Pokedex, we are likely to see every Generation 1 Pokémon here.
Here are the details for each card that has been revealed today:
If you are on a PC, you can try to Right-Click the Image and choose 'Open Image in New Tab' for the bigger picture.
Cards Revealed:
Butterfree
G - Whirlwind 60
Your opponent switches their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon.

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you must discard the top 5 cards from your deck.

Once during your turn, when you play this card from your hand to evolve a Pokemon, you may choose a Supporter card from your opponent’s discard pile and put it into their hand.

What do you guys think of these cards? I really think that Gyarados may be on to something but I don’t think we will see it in this set. On the other hand, Haunter may become an interesting choice for control decks but I think bringing back a Supporter card to the opponent’s hand may be a bit overboard.
