Definitely my rainbow incineroar. My fiancé who isn’t into Pokémon that much heard me talking about how incineroar was my favorite card. After opening some packs with me and learning about the different rarities, she decided to find a rainbow incineroar off eBay and got

For me it's "Boss's Order" from "Rebel Clash" preferably the FullArt version 189/192. Why? Because I always liked Giovanni and Team Rocket cards (kind of nostalgic), I like to play it in my Decks and I really like all three versions of the card! 🤩🤩🤩

Charizard vivid voltage promo!

For @triforcemeg and I, think its the “Amazing” Celebi from Vivid Voltage. Pictures dont do these cards justice, the holo is stunning! pic.twitter.com/1AYjnJj79Y

SowSow's first holo card was very special. The background and atmosphere are amazing and the 2 male Pikachu looking at the female Pikachu let you imagine a story behind the image. Shibuzoh's Gengar was a close 2nd for me. pic.twitter.com/0zbCKnyJDl

I’m yet to get a hold of one but the Shiny Ditto Vmax has to be one of my favourite artworks of late. It’s simple but works so well!

There's tons of fantastic art, or impactful Pokémon, but this one card convinced me to finally start my own Youtube channel and push playing the game more competitively. pic.twitter.com/qdQYa8zEBk

Garchomp & Giratina-GX, Giratina is my all time favorite Pokemon and it never actually got a standalone GX.

I wish I could choose all ARs but there's something about the 🇯🇵 Jirachi that takes the top spot for me. The swirling rainbow pattern combined with the pose, silver borders and steel type card background makes this a beautiful sight in any collection. More ARs please Pokémon! ✨ pic.twitter.com/Csggs1xTzT

Copperajah from DAA!
— Sketchigigas (@overgro) December 31, 2020
Not only is its Ability very... topical (mind the pun), it's a single-prize Pokemon with 190 HP that hits for 240 with no drawback.
Perhaps too slow for the ADP meta, but I hope one day it'll have it's chance to shine.
I also just love Copperajah haha. pic.twitter.com/mQ9iJLgcEj

I just started collecting Pokémon cards literally a week ago and my favorite card of 2020 is the Amazing Rare Rayquaza from Vivid Voltage! It is both a beautiful card and one of the better pulls from the set. It was also in my first elite trainer box/pack opening ever! pic.twitter.com/1vS1rWf67P

The rainbow pika. I remember on the day vivid voltage launched, I lost my damn mind when I pulled it. I pulled it, the pika Vmax, AND the regular Pikachu V in the same set of packs. I had 2 etbs and 6 singles. pic.twitter.com/NiZcvyZV3J

Not many great cards this year, in comparison to last year, but I guess I'd choose twin energy. Definitely a fun card to boost the consistency of 1 prize expanded decks already using DCE pic.twitter.com/7kKn3R7Vfa

I really feel like this years card design (especially for trainer cards) was just a worse version of the early Sun & Moon era. While quick ball is terribly designed compared to Nest ball, it is responsible for making oneprizers searchable again, and that’s always worth something. pic.twitter.com/r00gujIKoJ

They finally brought this art to a card, I couldn’t be happier! pic.twitter.com/QVuHDXiGYY
Mine was Mew3 (specifically this art because it looks amazing). I chose this card because it brought me the most success overall and my best result in tournaments throughout the year. I also love the card because Mewtwo is my second favorite Pokémon. 😉 pic.twitter.com/XroeVSC2c1

Colossal vmax really good and underrated.
To bad no Lati cards this year. I probably had to say my favorite card is Rainbow Rare Gardevoir VMAX. Definitely one of the coolest cards for me.
The Gyarados from Ancient Origins (21/98) is by far my favorite.
This card's art is absolutely awesome. Its Full Retaliation attack is more powerful that it seems, and Gyarados is just one of my favorite Pokémon.
Wait, never mind. That came out five years ago. My favorites besides that card is probably, from a collector's perspective, would be Wailord from Vivid Voltage. It has an absolutely awesome art, and not a bad attack, either. From a player's perspective, it would actually be the Rhyperior from Sword and Shield. It has an amazing board wiping attack that gets even better with Telescopic Sight (which is also a favorite on mine)
