Growlithe from Sun & Moon is no longer legal in the Standard format. Beginning with the 2019-2020 season, cards in McDonald's collections retain the rotation status of their original prints. Therefore, the Sun & Moon/McDonald's Collection 2018 Growlithe is not legal in the Standard format. The quote below is from this year's official announcement for rotation:

"Starting with the 2020 season, cards from McDonald's Collections will be legal in the Standard format if they're functionally identical to a card that is currently legal in the Standard format. For example, Magnemite (McDonald's Collection 2018, 8/12) is functionally the same card as Magnemite from Sun & Moon—Ultra Prism, so it can still be used in the Standard format."

I see, I misunderstood what the sentence meant, my apologies. --Spriteit (talk) 06:57, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
