‘Phantom Gate’ Pokemon-EX, Mystery Energy, AZ, and More Revealed!

Japan’s Pokemon TCG website has updated early with several cards from Phantom Gate, officially revealing the set for the first time and the main Pokemon-EX from its “Hyper Metal Chain Deck.” Translations are below with a huge thanks to Franco T. Players who purchase a booster box of this set will also receive a Ditto promo.

Although proper images were not revealed, the website’s set banner (right) gives a glimpse of M Manectric-EX and some sort of new Team Flare full art Trainer card. The card has a huge red “FLARE” watermark in the background of the text along with the Team Flare symbol. The border of the card is also red, a first for the TCG. The card sports what may be a Pokemon Tool rule under the artwork, but it’s too small to translate at this time.

Also being released alongside the set on September 13th are new Espurr and Meowstic sleeves, Mega Gengar sleeves, and a Mega Gengar Deck Box.
