Hisui Pokemon and New Character Rares Revealed for ‘Battle Legion!’
More cards have been revealed from Battle Legion! The special set will release in Japan on February 25th.
As we previously reported, the set will feature new Character Rares and Character Super Rares!
This will be the first set to feature the new Pokemon from Hisui, such as Kleavor and Wyrdeer.
It’s currently unknown when we will get the above Character Rares in English. But since Pokemon is continuing to release them, we may see around 30 of them in every English set from now on.
For example, we already know February’s Brilliant Stars will feature half of the Character Rares from VMAX Climax — around 30. Pokemon probably reserved the other 30 for May’s Astral Radiance. It already looks like there will be too many Character Rares in Battle Legion to fold into Astral Radiance, so they will probably be saved for our August set.
And of course Pokemon could always mix around the release order of individual cards for marketing purposes, such as releasing Kleavor in Astral Radiance to promote Hisui. We’ll see! But it’s obvious Pokemon will want to spread out these Character Rares in every set to encourage sales.
Battle Legion will also debut a new reverse holo style featuring glittery Poke Balls, as we previously reported.
About a dozen other cards from the set were also revealed. Thanks goes to Toine L. and JustInBasil for the translations!
