Pokémon TCG Reveals Pokémon Card 151: Clefairy Line
Soon after Pokémon TCG Japan revealed the Clefable ex from the ex Starter Decks, we are getting another Clefable in Pokémon Card 151.
Pokémon TCG Japan has revealed details for the upcoming set Pokémon Card 151, an expansion based on the original 151 Pokémon introduced in the Kanto region. This set is notable in that it will be the first time we have seen a new Kadabra card in 21 years. Kadabra has been absent from the Pokémon TCG ever since magician Uri Geller sued the company for Kadabra's design, which he felt was inspired by his spoon-bending technique. Just three years ago, Geller withdrew his complaint and publicly apologized to Pokémon fans for the limits that had been placed on the use of Kadabra due to this highly popularized lawsuit. Outside of the return of Kadabra, this expansion is notable because it will be in Pokédex order, where normal sets are ordered by type first and foremost. This set will be released on June 16th in Japan, and there are currently no details regarding the English-language release. I tend to think that this will be the first special set of the Scarlet & Violet era for English-language collectors, but as of now, there is no way to tell how Pokémon Card 151 will show up in the States. Today, let's take a look at look at the Clefairy line from this set.
Clefable is getting strong attention this spring and summer. Not only does it appear here in Pokémon Card 151, it also features on a Pokémon ex in one of the ex Starter Decks coming soon to Japan. The credit on these pictures initially uploaded to Pokebeach is quite blurry, but we are able to determine that the artist on both the Clefable and the Clefairy is ryoma uratsuka. uratsuka has been contributing to the TCG since Sun & Moon – Unified Minds. Recent cards by this artist include Fennekin and Vulpix from Sword & Shield – Silver Tempest and Oddish from Crown Zenith.
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.
