Pokémon TCG Reveals Pokémon Card 151: Jolteon

Artists Narumi Sato and sui deliver an Eevee and Jolteon respectively in Pokémon TCG Japan's Pokémon Card 151 releasing next week.

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 in that 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 some Eevee cards from this set.

We begin with the Eevee card today by Narumi Sato, who delivers an adorably detailed and cute illustration here. I wonder if the flowers here represent the colors of the Eeveelutions from Kanto? I see blue for Vaporeon, red for Flareon, and yellow for Jolteon.

Eevee evolves into a Jolteon holographic rare by sui, who delivers a gleamingly rainbow illustration. This isn't sui's first card featuring an Eeveelution. The last time we saw a Kanto-based evolution of Eevee from sui was the gorgeous Vaporeon from Sun & Moon – Cosmic Eclipse.

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.
