Pokémon TCG Pocket has replaced two immersive cards—Ho-Oh EX and Lugia EX—from its “Wisdom of Sea and Sky” expansion after fans flagged plagiarism concerns. The controversy began when the Ho-Oh card was found to resemble fan art from 2021, prompting scrutiny of other designs. It was later revealed that incorrect reference materials were used for both cards during production. As a result, Pokémon TCG Pocket issued an apology and swapped the cards out with temporary placeholders while new artwork is developed. The incident has sparked broader conversations around artistic integrity and transparency in trading card design within the fan community.
