With Sword & Shield officially concluded, the Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokémon TCG kicked off in March 2023 with a focus on the ninth generation of Pokémon games and the new region: Paldea. It all began with the Scarlet & Violet base set, which introduced major, lasting changes to the hobby.
Now, the borders of the cards have become silver, matching the Japanese releases. Another major change is that now, each pack culminates in at least a holo-rare and two reverse holos. The major mechanic of this era is the lowercase ex, which features a double holographic pattern of a horizontal shine and a starry sparkle. Full Art exs now use a green, foil outline around the Pokémon.
This is Eiscue's first card from the Scarlet & Violet era. It is illustrated by Nelnel, who uses the expanded border of Illustration Rares to show a hilarious scene of Eiscue shaping up the ice of its head by sticking its face in the freezer. Now, I'm so happy to get a Raichu Secret Rare so early in the Scarlet & Violet era.
