It is almost impossible to determine the absolute best Pokemon card, particularly when considering alternative art and illustration-focused designs.
Over the years, the TCG has consistently provided collectors with a plethora of full-art cards created by skilled artists. Each era, including Sword & Shield and Diamond & Pearl, boasts several beloved and highly-regarded cards.
The topic of a lively debate online has been these beloved cards, with collectors passionately discussing the darlings of the community and criticizing the “most overrated”alt-art cards.
Greninja ex (214/167), Umbreon VMAX (215/203), and Blaziken VMAX (201/198) Pokemon cards.
A collector sparked the conversation by asking about the most overrated alt-art Pokemon card, using Blaziken VMAX (201/198) as an example. As expected, other collectors of Pokemon TCG eagerly chimed in with their opinions.
The discussion was initiated by a collector who remarked on the Twilight Masquerade Greninja ex card, stating, “The new Greninja card has a background that is difficult to make out.”
One person expressed their anticipation for the release of the woodblock Greninja ex in the Shrouded Fable set, stating that the upcoming promo card appears to be superior to the Masquerade version.
Several collectors shared the sentiment of the individual who made the initial post, criticizing the design and peculiarities of Blaziken VMAX. One fan expressed, “I’m relieved to know that I’m not alone in not understanding the excitement surrounding this Blaziken. Personally, I would prefer the G. Moltres from the CR set, but I understand that it’s all a matter of preference.”

Despite its popularity, the Moonbreon card did not come out unscathed in this debate. A disappointed Pokemon enthusiast commented, “I definitely have to go with Moonbreon. While it may be a sought-after card, the cost outweighs its value.”
Some people echoed this sentiment, concurring that although the Umbreon VMAX was visually appealing, it appeared to only be favored for its appearance. One fan added, “Moonbreon is undeniably stunning, but the excessive hype surrounding it is enough to deem it overrated.”
In this thread, a few other Pokemon cards gained attention, such as the different Ogerpon cards found in Twilight Masquerade and the legendary golden cards from Crown Zenith.
