A lot of nostalgia to see this.“Fans also praise the gorgeous artwork on the card, created by veteran Pokemon Artist Kawaguchi Yoohei, aka Kawayoo.
The discovery of Black Kyurem ex between Surging sparksThe first cards also raise some questions about what else is coming. A special painting rare version of the card is unlikely, however It’s not unlikely that players will see a White Kyurem soon. The white version of the rare Pokemon would not be out of place in these Paradise Dragona set, which is a dragon-themed set created to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. However, the two types of Kyurem are not always released in unison, so whether it comes is still up in the air.
When the Black Kyurem ex card joins the pokemon trading card game, It will be a water-type, not a dragon-type. This card will first appear in the Japan-exclusive set in September. Fans in the West will have to wait a little longer for a chance to get the card when the Surging sparks Cards launch in November.
