Pokemon has the worst filler problem out of any TCG I can think of. In other TCGs like MTG and Pokemon, the filler cards are at least unique or gimmicky or do something different, even if they're shit. In Pokemon, the trash cards are shit like pic related where it's literally unusable, indefensible, and can't be justified by any means. Imagine paying $4 for a pack and pulling this chucklefuck as your rare. And this isn't a cherrypicked result.
