Captain Pikachu and the Pokémon Horizons Illustration Rares
Every Pokémon in Gem Pack Vol. 5 has its own Illustration Rare, and four of them star members of the Rising Volt Tacklers from Pokémon Horizons. The new Captain Pikachu Illustration Rare (card 01 07/07, illustrated by Keita Hagiwara) shows Captain Pikachu gazing into the distance with Friede, as if a new journey is about to begin. The Floragato (22 07/07), Crocalor (23 07/07) and Quaxwell (24 07/07) Illustration Rares show each Pokémon sharing a meal with Liko, Roy and Dot. The Floragato Illustration Rare was drawn by Lyu YiFei, an illustrator from mainland China.
