Every Special Illustration Card Revealed From the 'Pokémon Card 151' Set So Far

Over the years, The Pokémon Company has acknowledged the everlasting love for its original 151 Pokémon by continuing to involve them in games, media, merchandise and more. For many, these creatures represent a fond part of one’s childhood and the Pokémon TCG has capitalized on this with several celebratory releases in recent years. In 2020, magician Uri Geller finally gave permission to bring the long-banned Kadabra back to the Pokémon TCG. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the Psychic-type Pokémon is finally returning to the game with a new card in the upcoming Pokémon Card 151 set that features all 151 of the original pocket monsters.
