This makes me so happy! I love Garvantula. For reasons that I genuinely cannot fathom, I adore every spider-based Pokémon, despite being a complete baby about real-life spiders invading my space. Spinarak is my OG fave spidey-type, obviously, but Garvantula just looks so cuddly!

Anyway, this serious analysis aside, this SIR for the Garvantula ex is a really special piece of art, that embraces the color palette of the Tera types, and develops it into something stunning.

It’s also stupidly powerful. If you’re facing another ex (or V), this does 220 damage for two Energy, and no consequence or cost! Then get another of those multi-Energy mixes and you can deliver 180 damage, although this time you lose all three Energy, but also stop your opponent using an Item card.

It’s so pretty, and I have to stop myself spending $26 to get one.
