The English translation for the key cards of the three "Battle Strength Sets" in the "Pokemon" Trading Card Game has been revealed.
According to Pokebeach, the Pokemon Company was set to release three "Battle Strengthening Sets," which are set to feature three of Eevee's "Eeveelutions."The publication said that each set would have 16 pre-determined cards, which would be released as XY-P promos if they were unique to the package.
The three Eeveelutions in the upcoming "Pokemon" trading card set include Vaporeon EX, Eevee's water-type evolution; Jolteon EX, the lightning-type evolution; and Leafeon EX, the grass-type evolution. They are paired up with Golem EX, Ninetales EX, and Meowstic EX, respectively.
In addition to six new Pokmon EX cards, the "Pokemon" trading card set also includes one item trainer card and two supporter trainer cards.
The new item trainer card is called Immunizer. It enables its user to return two grass [G] Pokemon from the discard pile to your hand, which benefits decks with grass-types, such as Sceptile EX decks. However, it is still vulnerable to item-lock effects from abilities and attacks like Seismitoad EX's Quaking Punch, which prevents the opponent from using item cards.
Clemont and Olympia are the two new supporter cards. Clemont allows the user to search his deck for four lightning [L] energy and put them in his hand. This gives advantage to players who use lightning-types as their main attackers, since the supporter provides up to four lightning energies from the deck. This card can be used in sync with Magnezone's ability from the "XY Breakthrough" card expansion set.
Meanwhile, Olympia allows the player to switch his active Pokemon with one of his benched Pokemon, along with the benefit of healing 30 damage from the newly benched Pokemon. According to Reddit user tlamy, Olympia could be a way to counter a Lysandre play and a Seismitoad EX Quaking Punch from the opponent.
Each set would cost 650 yen or between $5 to 6$, as per Pokebeach.
The "Pokemon" Trading Card Game "Battle Strength Sets" are slated to hit the market on Dec. 26.
