'Hidden Fates,' Special Set Releasing in America This August!

[Poke_collector]

Even with the cards from the family box set, this will be the biggest mini set of the sm era

 

[BluishJellie]

Does this mean that Trainers such as Guzma and Acerola will still be viable post-rotation?

We don't know yet. They definitely won't be until this releases in the fall, unless Unified Minds adds them in a surprising move. How they'll be handled here is unclear - they might be just treated like alternate arts, or they might be newly viable.

Normally, all of the cards in the fall mini-set are included in Standard, but this set is potentially different (both because they've sort of changed how rotations work a bit, with the letters on the cards denoting set rotation, and because this is an unusual set with a bunch of GXs etc.

I think they'll combine the next Japanese set, Remix bout, with this.

 

[Frost]

Remix Bout, Dream League and SM12 JP will probably be our SM12 in the west. They've been following the same pattern for a couple of years now.

 

[Swampert Full Art]

My wallet just passed out.

 

[Snowy Lilacs]

Like the past few holiday sets, Hidden Fates‘s Elite Trainer Box will come with ten booster packs instead of the usual eight and a special promo card — this time of Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno-GX​

this will sell really well.

That would be the understatement of the year

 

[Lord Goomy]

Family box set? Do we have to have THOSE hogging the secret rare slot?

 

[Poke_collector]

I’ve thought about it and this is basically shining legends version 2.0

 

[Elliottkoby923]

By "It’s possible they’ll print them as “A” alternate art cards, within a shiny sub-set that’s not legal for Standard" could it end up being like Radiant Collection was a sub-set of Generations and Legendary Treasures?

 

[Scoop]

Finally, a set I actually want to open up packs for! It's been too long. I think since Shining Legends.

(And I'll finally be able to play shiny expanded BuzzLyc on PTCGO, I've been waiting since GX ultra shiny came out for this)

 

[NaganadelIsBeast]

Do I hear a SHINY NAGANADEL GX?!?!?!

 

[Refrigerated Elements]

I’ve thought about it and this is basically shining legends version 2.0

Shining Legends 2, Electric Boogaloo.

I cant wait for this set to come out. There are so many shiny cards I want in this set. Hopefully I wont be broke when this set comes out.

 

[Wechselbalg]

Uhhh, btw what happened to Onix and Starmie-GX? I'd rather be getting those than this family filler stuff.

Why not all of it? I honestly want the family box cards for my collection on top of Onix and Starmie. Just because they're not competitively viable doesn't really take away collectible appeal.

 

[The Almighty Bidoof]

Please TPCi don't make Shinies common. Don't pull an SLG where the shtick lost it's appeal because it was too easy to obtain everything

 

[Frost]

Please TPCi make shinies common, and also make shiny Charizard GX a promo because I'd like to have a set where I don't have to spend a fortune.

Charizard is confirmed in the set

 

[NaganadelIsBeast]

Charizard is confirmed in the set

Not to mention the 10million boxes that will have it as well.

 

[LeeYR]

So there are 82 Shinies. At least 3 will be cut. We know Glaceon will get cut for a Winter tin. So maybe they'll cut Articuno and Ninetales as well

Or maybe eevee family
