Three new trading card collections will feature the starting Pokemon from Sword and Shield.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 15, 2019, and on that same day, three new Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) packs will also hit store shelves.
The Pokemon TCG: Galar Collection packs will each feature one of the three starting Pokemon from Sword and Shield — Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble — on a foil promo card. A pin will also be included featuring one of the three.
In addition, each pack will include one of two oversized foil cards featuring either Zacian or Zamanzenta as Pokemon V. Zacian and Zamanzenta are the two Legendary Pokemon featured on the box art for Sword and Shield, respectively. If you want one card more than another, you’ll be able to see which one is included before making a purchase.
Finally, each pack will include four Pokemon TCG booster packs and a card containing a code that can be redeemed in the Pokemon TCG Online.
These Galar Collection packs aren’t the only new items coming soon to the Pokemon TCG. The Hidden Fates expansion will be released in waves throughout the fall, while the Sun & Moon – Cosmic Eclipse expansion will be released on November 1, 2019.
