After the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as customary, The Pokemon Company released sets themed around these Gen 7 games, with the first being Pokemon Sun and Moon - Ultra Prism. While Ultra Prism introduced Ultra Beasts and the concept of Ultra Wormholes, like the games, some fans noticed a peculiar detail on one of the set’s cards.

A Reddit user by the name of WeedleLover2006 shared a post highlighting how the Pokemon card for Bastiodon from the Ultra Prism set had an Ultra Wormhole on top of a mountain in the background. While this is clearly to create a fitting design for the Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon sets, fans are seeing a foreshadowing of Pokemon Legends: Arceus in this picture. This is because Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ space-time rifts were a big part of the plot, and the big space-time rift that opened on top of Mount Coronet heavily resembles the Ultra Wormhole on the card.
As such, it’s possible that Pokemon Legends: Arceus was already in the pipeline when Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon sets were being designed, as the Ultra Prism set was released in December 2017. This wouldn’t be too much of a surprise, considering that Fuecoco’s “presence” in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was later found by fans, possibly hinting at Sprigatito’s evolution through the female main character.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus rapidly became one of the most positively-reviewed Pokemon games in the franchise after its release, and it even got its own Pokemon Trading Card Game sets. Recently, a Pokemon fan showed off a massive collection of cards in their “living Dex,” and while it didn’t include the Bastiodon card possibly foreshadowing Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it did include Hisuian Pokemon from the game.
