From Moonbreon to Gengar and many more, these are the best Sword & Shield cards.
Last week, nine more secret rarities were revealed for the set, including Roaring Moon, Raging Bolt, Sandy Shocks, and Iron Valiant, and now, a brand new card designed by a legendary manga artist has just been revealed.
Fist Of The North Star Artist Designs New Palafin Ex Card
The star of the prismatic evolution will undoubtedly be Eevee and its many different evolutions. But it's clear that The Pokemon Company has gone all out for this latest expansion.
The set is set to receive a total of 32 Special Illustration Rare cards, including all Eeveelutions and many of the most notable Scarlet and Violet Pokemon, including an array from Area Zero.
So far, we've seen cards with the following Pokemon, with more to come:
- Former Lifon
- Former Ogrepon brown mask
- Former Flareon
- Formerly Vaporeon
- Former glaciation
- Former Jolton
- Former spy
- Former Sylvan
- Former Ambron
- Former Goldengo
- Former Dragaplet
- Former Eve
- Former Ursaluna Blood Moon
- Former Trapagos
But, while dozens of fantastic cards have already been revealed, the former Palafin might be one of the best. Designed by legendary manga artist Tetsu Hara, Palafin ex is a fitting tribute to Hara's most famous work, Fist of the North Star.
Hara's newly designed card pays homage to the manga series, which later received anime and video game adaptations, with Palafin firing a lot of punches. This is a reference to Ken's protagonist's infamous attack, Hokuto Hyakortsu Ken, or Hundred Broken Fists.
This move, which may be a bit violent for the Pokemon, sees Ken fire over 100 punches, each targeting the opponent's internal organs and causing them to explode.
However, this isn't the first time Hara has designed a card for a commercial game. In 2022, Hara's artwork was featured on Magic The Gathering's Kaito Shizuki from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, another card featuring the artist's special appearance.
Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions is scheduled to be released in January 2025.
