Ethan's Typhlosion illustrated rare has been revealed for the Heat Wave Arena set! This set is slated to release on March 14th, 2025 in Japan, and showcases various trainer Pokemon, ranging from Misty's Starmie, Ethan's Ho-Oh, and Cynthia's Garchomp (just to name a few). 

Looking at the artworks for these cards, the hype will be off the charts the moment this set releases. 

As someone who is getting back into collecting Pokemon cards again, I definitely need to cop all these illustration rares! The artwork, color, and attention to detail is beyond impressive. I can confidently say RIP my wallet, but then again, trying to secure it is another story. Until that moment comes, we can enjoy the artwork and anticipate getting our hands on these cards some day!

Recently, the Pokemon TCG Pocket app account announced its future update plans within a post on Twitter. This brief statement gets us ready for upcoming content within the coming months. While it didn't go into specific details, we can infer that November, December, and January will be jam-packed with events and packs. The app has been receiving regular updates every couple of weeks to highlight various features, whether it is the wonder pick, solo battling against AI, or solo battles against other players. So we can assume these features will be the focus for future events, in addition to the upcoming trading feature. I'm sure we will receive the A2 packs very soon, too. 

The statement reads as follows:

"To all of you playing Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket,

Following the announcement of a dedicated team between Game Freak and Ilca being created, we now have further details about the collaborative efforts! The Pokemon Works website has officially launched. 

Within the About Us section of the website, it states the following:

--

"We are a development team born from two companies, Pokémon Inc. and Iruka Inc.

Our goal is to provide a rich experience that extends the world of Pokémon to everyone, regardless of generation, country, or region. As a team focused solely on Pokémon, we are a group of Pokémon lovers who hone our skills and creativity to develop not only games but also services such as “Pokémon HOME”.

The road to development is sometimes difficult. However, it is in times like these that we must maintain a strong sense of “Let's do it! But it is in times like these that we test whether or not we can maintain our strong “I'm going to do it! This desire to convey the appeal of Pokémon, no matter the difficulties, is the driving force that keeps us moving forward.

Pokémon are your partners and friends. That is why we will create more realistic and accessible Pokémon experiences for you to enjoy your encounters and adventures with Pokémon, while respecting their worldview and “character.

Through the development of games and services, we hope to continue to connect the thoughts of many people. We look forward to your continued support.

Takuya Iwasaki, Representative Director"

It is quite interesting to note that the website utilizes Gengar, Snorlax, and a Pikachu silhouettes. Is this potentially teasing an upcoming project(s) between the two companies? Do these Pokemon serve a bigger role for what's about the come? Or were they just picked out as random as potential favorites by the company worker's? We will keep our eyes peeled as more information is released!
