Bulbasaur isn’t missing from this special set! Like Detective Pikachu, the first Grass starter is getting a promo card version, giving him two appearances in this 26 card expansion. Different artwork, different attacks, and a different way to obtain. From Based on the Pokémon Company’s writeup, we know that “[t]his card is first available at a special in-store event at participating retailers.” As for who, what, when, when, and where, we’ll have to wait.
We have three more to go now, so who else will get a promo card appearance? We’ll report back with that news as soon as it’s made available.
Can’t wait for the cards to come out? You can pre-order some of the sets at GameStop.
