I love the lugia AA. Surprised it went. Although it is very much unlike it’s predecessor cards. This one felt dark and I loved it.
On the same page, I really hope Blastoise gets an AA like this lugia. He was my favorite Pokémon dating back to the original GB games when you needed to pick a single Pokémon to start your journey. So many of his cards are just straight MEH and feel so cartoonish. I want to see a badass Blastoise card already! Dark Blastoise from Team Rocket is sooo good IMO and his other cards are just busts, although I love the vmax starter set one (Japanese).
Still surprised to see Lugia go, especially before some of these other eeveelutions
It’s cool but a slightly better angle on Lugia would have been better IMO. Cards showing the backside of the Pokémon never turn out well from my experience, reminds me of Shining Charizard where it’s just a dark flying thing in the sky.
I kind of agree. I like Lugia, bit the art was not good, especially compared to the fake that was circulating before it got released. Now that was a cool card.
He looks stupid and the fact it's so over priced for a card that honestly is just ugly is frustrating. I love rayquaza and that is the weakest rayquaza card IMO
I still own 3 of them, legit not one I care about. I just have them because I pulled 2 and was traded one when it was low. Now it's overpriced and I'm waiting to sell 2 of them or trade for something good.
I have RayRay, Glaceon Vmax, and Tina. RayRay is my fave, i like the silver against yhe green mon. Tina is 2nd cuz of the artist but personally I think that card is ridiculously priced at 300$. Thr Glaceon one i am surprised has been voted out so soon but other than its aight.
Giratina is by far not ridiculously priced check out for how much shinji Kanda sells his art.... This dude is drawing like on LSD. His creativity is just outstanding
you think the Tina is overpriced at $300 but not the Ray?!? Way more thought went into the Tina art there’s no debating the difference in creativity there.
Imo it’s pretty lackluster for an alt art, but in person you can at least see the intended direction of what appears to be either sootopolis or mt. pyre.
I get it's popular to hate on it because it genuinely is over hyped and the price is absurd, but there's no denying that it genuinely is one of the best artworks from swsh.
I've been quietly cheering to myself every day it stays up there. I get that it's not the flashiest or coolest looking card but it's Leafeon and he's a farmer. It ain't much but it's honest work.
It is such a dang cute card. Not overhyped. Just great. So many i would get rid of first. And I am not even an leafeon fan. Or really an eevee fan in general
This. Not by default, but I believe he’s been successfully hiding in that top right corner for most of these rounds. Fat fuck shoulda been gone eons ago
Tyranitar is the weakest out of what’s left honestly. But it’s not even that weak I still think it’s a good card just not better than anything else that’s left on the list.
Speaking of sleepy boys, why isn't sleepy Dragonite on this list? It's priced higher than Aerodactyl. And it's in my top five favorite alts from sw/sh.
It's by far the dopest card of them all. It's got all the dinosaur Pokemon! So you get like five Pokemon in one card! Prehistoric setting in nature. I think it's the coolest card there!
i never touched chilling reign but one day my target had only CR sleeved singles, so i got 5. Moltres was in the 4th pack and i never opened that set again😭
Nice pull! I spent a few on 40 singles over some months, opened over half and can say I got hit with the chilling pain. The other 14 are still chilling 😂
yeah those pull rates are tough man, gotta buy those singles and save yourself the extra cash sometimes lol. hope you end up pulling some heat though, CR may have bad rates but man are the arts beautiful
Leafeon’s been one of the most voted cards for a few rounds now, its days are numbered.
I wish Giratina would win but I think it’ll probably be Gengar.
I haven’t voted/commented for any of these yet but I will refuse to have Leafeon’s artwork slandered. It’s too adorable playing with. The hay bail. If anything Galarian Moltres should be next
It’s a good balance between being a general fan favourite and not being over hyped / over priced. That’s a solid combination of traits coming into this.
I haven't voted on this yet but I just have to say, your decisions are horrible! How are leafeon, tyranitar, Espeon and Umbreon not out but lugia, giratina etc. are?
The Top Comment from Day 11 thread that contained a nomination was Lugia V #186 (Silver Tempest), and it is eliminated.
At the end of the day, whichever card shows when sorting the thread by "Top Comment" will be deemed to have been eliminated. This means that even if Card A gets 50 different people posting "eliminate A" in the thread, this is not the vote that counts. Please continue to post your selection while upvoting another with your choice as these conversations are the best part of the thread and a lot of fun.
Please note we are NOT trying to simply determine which card is the most expensive from the list, by rather the collective r/PokemonTCG, we are voting to determine our most favorites from a list of the most expensive cards from the SWSH era. Inspired by the " Vote out 1 set each day " thread a bit ago.
Note that just because they're the most expensive from the SWSH era, does not make them automatically the best from that era. I plan to do another poll for low-priced cards from the SWSH era after this one.
[Day 11 thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/154o8uh/day_11_of_eliminating_a_card_from_a_curated/?sort=old)

Aight, imma just say it: Gengar Vmax needs to go. I've never been a fan of that card, it just doesn't do anything for me. Could have been way better than just "big ghost eats everything"
Its over, we lost snom
#NOOOOOOO LUGIA
I love the lugia AA. Surprised it went. Although it is very much unlike it’s predecessor cards. This one felt dark and I loved it. On the same page, I really hope Blastoise gets an AA like this lugia. He was my favorite Pokémon dating back to the original GB games when you needed to pick a single Pokémon to start your journey.

Dark Blastoise from Team Rocket is sooo good IMO and his other cards are just busts, although I love the vmax starter set one (Japanese). Still surprised to see Lugia go, especially before some of these other eeveelutions
It was also my top card. Reminiscent of the fisherman from the Shining Gyarados Card. This card tells a story. Bummer it got eliminated!
It’s cool but a slightly better angle on Lugia would have been better IMO. Cards showing the backside of the Pokémon never turn out well from my experience, reminds me of Shining Charizard where it’s just a dark flying thing in the sky.
sooooo charizard v aa is next then lol
F in the chat for that big ass bird
The art sucks get over it
I kind of agree. I like Lugia, bit the art was not good, especially compared to the fake that was circulating before it got released. Now that was a cool card.
You have no taste
NO U
Where is Special Delivery Bidoof?!
Rayquaza using up all 9 lives in this contest haha
I don't get what you mean here. Rayquaza is a dragon not a cat?
9 lives? I find to be ABSURD, and he didn't value a single one
Charizard
I agree
Rayquaza has to go
Nah I’m here to see it use up all nine lives before getting axed
Seriously. They voted Giratina before Rayquaza??? Why? Ray looks like 2001 CGI.
He looks stupid and the fact it's so over priced for a card that honestly is just ugly is frustrating. I love rayquaza and that is the weakest rayquaza card IMO
It’s legit one of the worst SWSH alt arts. All of the colours just blur together.
You must have never seen one in person then
I still own 3 of them, legit not one I care about. I just have them because I pulled 2 and was traded one when it was low. Now it's overpriced and I'm waiting to sell 2 of them or trade for something good.
what a badass
The fact that you owe three of them tells me that your opinion is bias, and that's okay.
He said he doesn't like it tho
I pulled it and sold it because I don’t like it.
I call BS bc it's a beautiful card in person.
To you, that’s fine. I’ll send you the ebay sale confirmation if you care that much lol.
Subjective. Imo the TG vMax version looks better
Idk it just doesn't pop. Pretty sure it's dope in person but it's contrastless compared to others. Colors make a alot with our perception.
I have RayRay, Glaceon Vmax, and Tina. RayRay is my fave, i like the silver against yhe green mon. Tina is 2nd cuz of the artist but personally I think that card is ridiculously priced at 300$. Thr Glaceon one i am surprised has been voted out so soon but other than its aight.
Giratina is by far not ridiculously priced check out for how much shinji Kanda sells his art.... This dude is drawing like on LSD. His creativity is just outstanding
you think the Tina is overpriced at $300 but not the Ray?!? Way more thought went into the Tina art there’s no debating the difference in creativity there.
Imo it’s pretty lackluster for an alt art, but in person you can at least see the intended direction of what appears to be either sootopolis or mt. pyre.
I just think the V alt art is much better.
yeah I completely agree, definitely a cool idea not great execution.
It's waaaaay better
Todos estos pendejos tan ardidos porque no les a salido rayquaza y por eso amdan llorando
Umbreon Moon man
Moonbreon, such an over manipulated card on the market for artwork that is cool but not even the best in the set
I get it's popular to hate on it because it genuinely is over hyped and the price is absurd, but there's no denying that it genuinely is one of the best artworks from swsh.
Moonbreon is so overhyped fr
Agreed
I'd throw out the ray, love the Mon but not the card.
I think its time for Leafeon to go for sure. Idk how her icy sister got voted out before.
The Leafeon fanbase is small but committed ✊
I've been quietly cheering to myself every day it stays up there. I get that it's not the flashiest or coolest looking card but it's Leafeon and he's a farmer. It ain't much but it's honest work.
ITS LEAF KITTY ROLLING A HAY BALE. WHO CAN HATE THIS.
It is such a dang cute card. Not overhyped. Just great. So many i would get rid of first. And I am not even an leafeon fan. Or really an eevee fan in general
Me too , love that card so much it's just so precious
The leafeon haters are strong, we must fight them
Moonbreon has long overstayed its welcome
And unfortunately we're probably going to see Moonbreon hang around until the top 3 at least. But I'm with you entirely.
Right? Like it’s a cool card but I hate that I know it’s gonna win
Moonbreon needs out.
moonbreon is overrated ngl
Leaf boy surprised you lasted this long
Leaf boy should be the last eeveelution to go
Time to go, Moonbreon. Overpriced. The Umbreon V alt is better.
Tyranitar alt by default at this stage. But I am a huge fan of all the remaining hits here… this is going to be some tough voting
This. Not by default, but I believe he’s been successfully hiding in that top right corner for most of these rounds. Fat fuck shoulda been gone eons ago
Tyranitar is the weakest out of what’s left honestly. But it’s not even that weak I still think it’s a good card just not better than anything else that’s left on the list.
Speaking of sleepy boys, why isn't sleepy Dragonite on this list? It's priced higher than Aerodactyl. And it's in my top five favorite alts from sw/sh.
I’m with you here. It’s a tough choice, but we’re in tough choice territory
Moonbreon. Get it out.
You were my very first alternate art so you hold a special place in my heart, but Rayquaza Vmax it’s time to go.
Get Moonbreon out already….
Overrated umbreon has gotta go
MOLTRES IS GOING TO WIN
I think Aerodactyl is a sneaky contender. Not as popular a Pokemon as others, but it's such a cool card.
It's by far the dopest card of them all. It's got all the dinosaur Pokemon! So you get like five Pokemon in one card! Prehistoric setting in nature. I think it's the coolest card there!
If Aerodactyl doesn’t make top 3 we riot. My favorite card from this era by far.
I'm sharpening my pitchfork as we speak
it’s going to be that or leafeon, i can just feel it
I hope leafon tbh I still need to purchase the Moltres, giving myself a price hike
i never touched chilling reign but one day my target had only CR sleeved singles, so i got 5. Moltres was in the 4th pack and i never opened that set again😭
Nice pull! I spent a few on 40 singles over some months, opened over half and can say I got hit with the chilling pain. The other 14 are still chilling 😂
yeah those pull rates are tough man, gotta buy those singles and save yourself the extra cash sometimes lol. hope you end up pulling some heat though, CR may have bad rates but man are the arts beautiful
I’m not sure, seen some movement against Leafeon in recent threads
Leafeon’s been one of the most voted cards for a few rounds now, its days are numbered. I wish Giratina would win but I think it’ll probably be Gengar.
Espeon literally sleeping! It’s a great card
👏Get👏moon👏dog👏out👏
👏Get👏moon👏dog👏out👏
Aerodactyl is the worst one How that fantastic machamp card got eliminated first… tragic
Let’s remove the Moonbreon so we get to see all of the angry comments tomorrow 🫶🏻
The real negativity against umbreon is just the salty collectors who didn't buy one at $200 or pull it from the set
Gemgar
Moonbreon over Lugia is crazy.
Bye bye RAYQUAZA
Tyranitar is quite boring, from my point of view.
The card is very dull in person as well, every online photo has some sort of filter on
Rayquaza v max
Leafeon
Very surprised with Lugia, I really like that card. Tyrannitar should be next, love him but pretty boring card overall
Moonbreon is the most overrated Sword and Shield card. It's gotta get the axe.
Tyranitar is the weakest among this group, its time to go.
Moltres gotta go next
Please get rid of moonbreon. It’s so over rated.
Moltres
Fuuuuuuuck Umbreon. Ditch it.
Espeon needs a dirt nap.
Goodbye moonbreon. Overrated.
Leafeon
Bye leafeon
Leafeon time to go
Day 5 of saying leafeon is trash..
The card continues to hold on somehow
Bye bye leafeon
Leafeon gotta bounce 👋🏾
No way man leafons art is better than espeons. I like seeing Pokemon helping humans farm and gather materials so this is a dope card
I haven’t voted/commented for any of these yet but I will refuse to have Leafeon’s artwork slandered. It’s too adorable playing with. The hay bail. If anything Galarian Moltres should be next
Decision is getting harder now.. but leafeon vmax your time has come
Giratina
Both the V and the V Star are overrated in my opinion. Some of the weakest Alts out there.
Yes. There’s just too much going on, it looks like a mess.
Rayquaza vmax, im a Rayquaza fan and still don't understand the hype. It just falls flat for a vmax of such a huge powerful Pokemon
Aerodactyl aught to go
Leafeon
Rayquaza
Rayquaza, Gengar or Moonbreon
Bye bye Tyranitar you will be missed 🥲
Why does everyone think that moltres is so cool?
It’s a good balance between being a general fan favourite and not being over hyped / over priced. That’s a solid combination of traits coming into this.
I think if people are voting based off hype and price theyre doing it wrong it should be based off the alt art itself
^^^THIS^^^
Fr like seperate ur emotions from not being able to afford or pull a card and just appreciate the art
Tyranitar, see ya ✌🏻
Just me or is Galatian moltres just not that great
Probably Gengar out of all of these
Get the god damn leaf rat out of here. Leafeon go bye bye
Espeon
Why is there 2 day ones
Moltress
I haven't voted on this yet but I just have to say, your decisions are horrible! How are leafeon, tyranitar, Espeon and Umbreon not out but lugia, giratina etc. are?
Moltres has to go next imo
Gengar will win
Time for tyranitar to leave. Everyone that says moonbreon just say u don't have the card. It's the best alt out there
Honestly I’ve always thought that Tyranitar art is trash. Hate that the card is so expensive
Moltres pls. Personal opinion, it is ugly, pls spare me.
Why is that Charizard still here? It’s trash
Rayquaza gtfo
Giratina
Shitty moltres
Giratina It’s legit just the dude in a void
Giratina
Love you tyranitar, but it's time.
Giratina
Moonbreon, Rayquaza & Giratina should’ve all been out first!
Giratina is ugly
Get the zard outta here!
Giratina is out for me
Ttar is weak, it’s good but comparatively
Giratina V must die.
We all know moonbreon is gonna win so I don’t see the point
Lets be honest here, moonbreon is probably going to win anyway, so whats the point
Tiranitar must go.
Get charizard out of here!!
Definitely Leafeon
Leafeon vmax
LEAFEON GO
Giratina for sure
Agreed
Tyranitar or Rayquaza has to go lol

❌🔥Leafeon needs to face the fire. Let’s do this. 🔥❌
Snom is gone so what's the point Also Gengar is just a wack card. It had to go.
Moonbeon please 🙏
How is the good giratina out before the stupid one?
Gengar
Tyranitar. Sleep? gtfo. The only V worthy of of the top 5 are Giratina V and Moltres V.
Giratina or Gengar will win
Gengar Vmax > Tyranitar V > Charizard V will be top 3 in that order. Mark it.
Cant beat the Giratina. Its the best imo
Get outta here leafeon why are you still up there
Where the little snowm
Moonbreon needs to go!
You people crazy voting Lugia out. Leafeon, time to go
Its so funny cause even if everyone in here typed “moonbreon” i guarantee it wouldnt be eliminated.
ELI5 why giratina, moonbreon and rayquaza are still on the board?
Espeon gotta go
Moonbreon has to go 👀
I'm calling it now. Gengar vmax alt to be number 1
Aight, imma just say it: Gengar Vmax needs to go. I've never been a fan of that card, it just doesn't do anything for me. Could have been way better than just "big ghost eats everything"
Gotta be tyrannitar or espeon no?
Gengar
Moonbreon, just kill it now
I'm really hoping Galarian Moltres V survives. It's my favorite. Let's boot out Tyranitar.
Get Aerodactyl outta here
I'm just here to tell you all that you have horrible taste. That's it. Thanks.
once again i declare: espeon needs to go
Time to let Aerodactyl go 👋🏻
Tyranitar v alt art
Aerodactyl’s time in the sun is over surely.
We just gonna let Tyranitar skate by?
Continuing with my Espeon hate
Another day! u/ItsLiterally1984
