  • Like usual, each booster pack will contain five cards and cost 150 yen.
  • The set stars Hoopa and its forme Hoopa Unbound, the second hidden Legendary Pokemon from Generation VI. The name “Bandit Ring” may refer to Hoopa’s mischievous behavior and of course its rings, which Hoopa uses to transport Legendary Pokemon and whole islands in OR/AS.
  • In their artwork, all of the Pokemon-EX in the set are coming out of Hoopa’s rings.
  • A mini-set called “Legendary Holo Collection” will be released a month after this set and also stars Pokemon from the Hoopa movie. Releasing alongside the mini-set will be Hoopa card sleeves, a deck box, and a theme deck.
