Kadabra
Let’s start off with what so much of the fuss has been about. The first Kadabra card in 20 years, having last appeared in 2003’s Skyridge. And since Skyridge was the final Pokémon TCG set to be released by Wizards of the Coast, this is the very first time Nintendo has ever produced a Kadabra card!
It’s also indicative of just how gorgeous this whole set is shaping up to be, a far more detailed card than we’re used to seeing for what’s essentially bulk. It’s a picture you can pore over, in this case with deliberate allusions to the media-focused nature of Geller, after whom the Japanese card—Yungeller—is named.
Oddly, his ability doesn’t involve bending anything, but instead let’s you do a “Teleport Attack,” where you deal 30 points of damage, and then swap out for another benched Pokémon. However, evolve Kadabra one more time and then things get interesting…
