Pokémon TCG Reveals Pokémon Card 151: Rhyhorn Line

Rhydon and Rhyhorn are getting new cards from GOSSAN, a go-to artist in the Pokémon TCG, in the Pokémon Card 151 Japanese expansion.

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 the Rhyhorn line from this set.

The Kanto focus continues. We get Rhyhorn and Rhydon cards from Pokémon Card 151, but because their evolution of Rhyperior didn't arrive until the Sinnoh region debuted, we do not have that Rock Wreckin' beast in this set. Artist GOSSAN draws both of these cards. OSSAN is a new contributor to the Pokémon TCG as of last year, with some of their more memorable cards being Mightyena Character Rare from Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance and Galarian Perrserker V Alternate Art from Sword & Shield – Lost Origin. GOSSAN has remained active during the Scarlet & Violet era, so far contributing cards featuring Hawlucha, Klefki, Spoink, Rookidee, and Heracross.

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.
