New Art Rare Card
Flamigo
What do you guys think of these cards? I think Wo-Chien ex can be a great late-game attacker because of its damage potential to snipe the opponent’s Benched Pokemon. On the other hand, Spiritomb can be a very deadly Pokemon to some of the Pokemon V because cards like Lumineon V, Kricketune V, and Genesect V can easily be shut down. We also have 2 new Stadium cards and both of them look promising to me even though they may not be as powerful as our previous era stadium where this time, the stadium is getting more specific.
