is squirtle a rare pokemon card - 148/142 Stellar Crown - Illustration IR Most Expensive Squirtle Pokémon Cards

Just like how the Bulbasaur line began Pokmon 151, Venasaur EXs Alt Art is the first Special Illustration Rare in the set, coming in at number 198 out of 207

On the one hand, it has aggressive 1- and 2-mana creatures, but then its big payoff costs 6 mana

However, the biggest lingering question over Collector Boosters comes down to whether there are enough cards per set to justify a whole new product, but if a new official format were to take off and have its own little subsection of exclusive cards, with all base Lorcana cards still being legal in the format, then that's a big step towards said justification

We haven't actually seen the whole decklist yet, so I guess it's a little premature for me to judge so harshly
