The Pokémon Trading Card Game (PTCGO) Space Time Smackdown expansion, released January 30th, features a Weavile ex card depicting a scene that has sparked outrage among players. Specifically, the 2-Star full art card shows a group of Weavile poised to attack an unsuspecting Swinub.
This depiction of potential predation has generated significant online discussion, with many players expressing concern and dismay. Reddit posts highlighting the artwork have garnered thousands of upvotes, with comments expressing sympathy for the Swinub and highlighting the often brutal implications of the Pokémon world's ecosystem. The juxtaposition of seemingly cute creatures with predatory behavior is a recurring theme in the comments.

However, some fans offer a glimmer of hope, pointing to the Mamoswine full art card (Swinub's evolution) as a possible happy ending. This card shows Mamoswine protectively looking upward, suggesting it may have witnessed the Weavile and intervened.

The Space Time Smackdown set, themed around Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, includes 207 cards – fewer than Genetic Apex's 286, but with a higher percentage of rare alternate art cards (52 vs. 60). The controversial artwork comes amidst a recent trading update, with Creatures Inc. remaining silent on both the update and the player backlash, despite a "Trade Feature Celebration Gift" being offered. The company has yet to respond to requests for comment.
