These cards will feature alternate art from their prints in Battle Styles and will become part of the Battle Styles Build & Battle Box.

Battle Styles releases March 19th. Cherrim – Grass – HP80 Stage 1 – Evolves from Cherubi Ability: Spring Bloom As often as you like during your turn, you may attach a [G] Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Pokemon (except Pokemon with a Rule Box).

Weakness: Fire (x2) Resistance: none Retreat: 2 Bronzong – Metal – HP110 Stage 1 – Evolves from Bronzor Ability: Metal Trans As often as you like during your turn, you may move a [M] Energy from 1 of your Pokemon to another.1 of your Pokemon. [M][C][C] Zen Headbutt: 70 damage. Weakness: Fire (x2) Resistance: Grass (-30) Retreat: 3
I love the choices of promos here. I'd be happy with any of them, but I think Cherrim would be the one I'd want to get the most.
I really hope the Cherrim features the Overcast Cherrim! We've only ever gotten 1 card with that form, and it's adorable ;-;
Good thing no collectible promo Pokemon like a Charizard popular kind. Glad this is more for the players considering how Vivid Voltage increased their costs of kits

The way the hobby shop I go to is stopping scalpers is quite smart but pretty funny, each build and battle box cost £4000 but on the product page there is a code that can only be used once per customer that gives you £3975 off! If you try buying more than one at a time you'll end up paying, literally!
Oh now that’s smart. ReedPop did a similar thing when they were selling some NYCC-exclusive Funko Pops, only the codes were given out via a lottery (due to the items being a numbered limited edition) and the price without codes was a whopping $10,000,000 USD each.
This is for local game stores? So basically what was already going to happen with stores that ran Prereleases?
I wish my local store was this cool. My local store is basically pre-scalping by selling all Pokemon product at like 200+% the MSRP. If you can't beat em, join em?
I do like getting getting those build and battle boxes as they are quite fun to get all the goodies inside but lately its been very difficult if not impossible to get my hands on one of them
Their distributor is probably upping the price of Pokémon TCG products, I’ve been hearing rumors that some stores are boosting their own prices because of it.
Hopefully my local store gets the 4 he ordered. Owner knows im heavily interested in a whole box of them. Investing a lot of money here recently in recent sets to rip and collect.
