Charizard Vs. Venusaur Cards
This is one of my favorite examples of the form, primarily because it was so subtle, and so split up over time. The first card appeared in Sword & Shield set Brilliant Stars, as an alt-art for the Charizard V. In it, we see Charizard and Venusaur involved in what looks like a mighty battle, and one that surely only Charizard could ever win against the grass-type opponent?
But a year later, with the release of the ludicrously sought-after Charizard Ultra Premium Collection, one of the enclosed promo cards showed a very different result. Instead, the aftermath of the battle appears to be a victorious Venusaur looking on from the distance, as a defeated Charizard curls up to lick its wounds, surrounded by broken trees and small fires.
It’s a shame the former card still costs over $130, and the latter comes in a box that’ll set you back the same.
