Highlighting the top valued Lost Origin cards, led by Giratina V Alternate Art
Combo pieces like Food Chain, unfair draw engines like Necropotence, and stupidly efficient answers like Aura Shards all made the list
General discussion, hobby triple January 17, 2026, 3:41am 1 Pokmon feels like they are starting to optimize how much they print and how sets are being built as well as pull rates Some sets are clearly bigger/smaller than they should be, other sets have no business having horrendous pull rates (Prismatic Evolutions / Evolving Skies / Fusion Strike) and modern packs feel like Japanese RPG style Gachapon where you either get the card you want or its bulk
And so the 4 cards per deck restriction came
The lackluster line art saw interest rapidly drop once they were less of a novelty, and despite their often being more difficult to pull than SIR full-art cards, prices and desire plummeted until TPCi eventually gave up on them entirely at some point during the three years of Scarlet & Violet
