Rare Candy can finally allow Stage 2 Ex Pokemon to break free from the chains of RNG by adding at least one or two copies to a deck, so that players end up having more chances of getting their Stage 1 critters or something that skips them entirely
Stellar Pokemon, on the evidence of the current card weve seen (thanks to Justin Basil for the translation) have the same look and mechanics that Tera Pokemon ex do, which is to say that they have a very crystallised look to the Pokemon themselves, as well as a passive ability that stops them from being damaged when theyre on the Bench (and, therefore, not Active)
A crackdown in a major jurisdiction is a tail risk for the whole sector
Those Evolving Skies-exclusive scratches behind the Dragon Type icon will certainly help in the long run, as it's a templating design choice that isn't likely to be continued in future expansions
Usually, players will stack their bench with Pokmon
If someone is selling a rare gold card with no provenance or verifiable origin, approach with caution
