The Pokémon Company International have been kind enough to offer us the exclusive official reveal of three of the cards in the upcoming set, Darkness Ablaze. This set is due out on August 14th. We can exclusively reveal the following cards, with their official dsecription
Eternatus VMAX: Harness the power of infinity as Eternatus VMAX enters the TCG for the first time! The chilling Eternmax form of the Gigantic Pokémon possesses the Eternal Zone Ability, allowing you to place up to eight Dark-type Pokémon on your Bench. As their numbers grow, so does the power of the Dread End attack; doing 30 damage for each of your Dark-type Pokémon in play!
Galarian Stunfisk V: Galarian Stunfisk V lies in wait on the battlefield ready to snap! Its powerful jaws give it the Trapping Bite attack, which deals 60 damage and lays a painful surprise for your opponent. If their Pokémon damages Galarian Stunfisk, you place twelve damage counters on it. Best watch your step!
Arctozolt: A storm of Ice and Lightning brews with Arctozolt, one of the four Galar Fossil Pokémon! The Ability Biting Whirlpool zaps your opponent’s Pokémon with two damage counters if they attach any Energy from their hand. This Ability works even from the bench, so Arctozolt can be a real shock to the system for unwary players!
We've added these cards to our section and will continue to add the card listings over the next couple of weeks when pre-release products are out so be sure to keep checking back
