It's a Mewtwo V Alternate Art! The Mewtwo V Full Art produced for this set will be the SWSH Black Star Promo card in the set's Elite Trainer Box. This card is brilliant as it's not only awesome visually but it keys into this history of the game. Day One Trainers may remember the early trailer for the game before it was even released, and how it featured an action-packed teaser of the game mechanic that would eventually be revealed as Tier Five raids. The trailer, which you can see here, showed Mewtwo descending on New York City as a group of Trainers gathered to defeat it. What a perfectly nostalgic moment for the Pokémon TCG to recapture in this beautiful Alternate Art. I can't wait to see what other cards might get Alts that will stoke our memories of this amazing game.
