Pokémon TCG Japan's Raging Surf: Larry Full Art Trainer
Paldean Gym Leader and Elite Four member Larry gets a Full Art Trainer Supporter card in the new Pokémon TCG Japan set Raging Surf.
Pokémon TCG Japan has released the next Scarlet & Violet-era set. This new set is a Tera Garchomp-themed expansion titled Raging Surf. It hit shelves on September 22, and it includes 62 cards, not including Secret Rare cards. This expansion will continue a new feature we saw in July's new Japanese set, Ruler of the Black Flame, which saw the introduction of Tera Pokémon with a Tera type that differs from its standard typing. One Tera Pokémon that we know will have a unique Tera typing in this set will be Tera Garchomp ex. It is a Water-type, hence the title Raging Surf. It has already been confirmed that this set will, in part, make up Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift, which will be our English-language Pokémon TCG set for November 2023. It is rumored that Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift will also combine with the cards from the upcoming Japanese ex Starter Sets featuring Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex, but we cannot yet confirm. Today, let's take a look at a Full Art Trainer featuring Larry from the Scarlet & Violet games.
Larry is a member of the Paldean Elite Four. He specializes in Normal-type and Flying-type Pokémon, with his teams consisting of Komala, Dudunsparce, Staraptor, Tropius, Electric-type Oricorio, Altaria, Flamigo, Oinkologne, and Braviary. He is also the Leader of the Medali Gym, where he focused more on Normal-types before leaning into Flying-types as an Elite Four member. Larry gets a Full Art Trainer Supporter in this set, illustrated by Akira Komayama, who also drew the Gimmighoul and Gholdengo Illustration Rares in this set.
Japanese sets often give us early ideas of what the English-language sets may include, so be sure to keep an eye on our coverage. You can stay tuned for previews of Scarlet & Violet cards as well as updates on everything Pokémon TCG right here at Bleeding Cool.
