The 'Explore' collection is a new line of Pokmon Center products that function as fake advertisements for a series of tourist hot spots throughout the Pokmon world
The set features regular Pokmon alongside Trainer Pokmon, the latter including Hops Zacian, Ionos Bellibolt, Lillies Clefairy, and Ns Zoroarkfeaturing cards included in Japans Battle Partners set, two preconstructed decks, and cards from Novembers ex Starter Deck Generations
However, its impact was less felt during the Merida Regionals, where a flock of Miraidon players capitalized on the little buds vulnerability to being knocked out by Iron Hands ex, leaving evolving decks with little recourse to catch up on the prize race
These are variants rather than a separate power level, but they drive much of the secondary market, since a competitive card's alternate art often outsells its base Secret Rare
This beauty from EX Holo Phantoms also comes from an era where Pokemon wasnt so popular, so print runs were considerably lower
The tension comes from wanting to spot very specific things, and we dont have enough information at this juncture to know if we should be trying to fend off Ravenous Chupacabra or something like Cleansing Nova/Settle the Wreckage
