Pokemon Card Game Japan officially revealed other cards such as Venusaur ex, Charizard ex, Blastoise ex, and many more from their upcoming set SV2a ‘‘Pokemon Card 151’. 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 (Secret Rares rarity is still unconfirmed), and will cost 290 yen per booster pack but with 7 cards inside.
Within this set, Pokemon introduced new Pokemon ex, including Alakazam ex with the long-awaited Kadabra, Mew ex, and of course the OG Kanto starters, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Also, their card number reflects their number of Pokedex so we likely get to see all of the Generation 1 Pokemon here.
Also, mirror foil cards with the Poke Ball design are back in this set. You can see the images below.

What do you guys think of these cards? I think the Pokemon cards are a bit underwhelming but they still can hit pretty hard though, especially Blastoies ex. But still, if these cards have Special Art Rare cards, I think the price will go through the roof especially the Charizard ex one. The interesting cards are the Trainer cards which can be useful in some decks like control decks or maybe just to buy some time.
