As has been the case so far, Mythical Island also seems set to receive a bunch of promo cards, with nine of them leaking following the game’s recent update.
Shared on Reddit by user itsprimo, nine brand-new Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket promos have been revealed. They are as follows:
- Pikachu
- Blastoise
- Moltres ex
- Charmander
- Eevee
- Snivy
- Volcarona
- Cinccino
- Squirtle
While six of the cards are fairly standard promos (although the Squirtle is incredibly cute), the Pikachu, Blastoise, and Moltres are likely to be highly sought after.
The Moltres is a variation on the standard Moltres ex card that’s currently in rotation and a mainstay in Charizard-centric decks. The Blastoise features some of, in my opinion, the best artwork so far, with the Pokemon sitting below deck on a ship. But it’s the new Pikachu that’s likely to be the one that has fans clamoring.
Front and center of the card is, of course, Pikachu, but the series mascot is surrounded by the three Kanto starters, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, with an Eevee thrown in for good measure. It’s a nostalgia-fuelled card that’s going to be super popular.
Based on the logos, we can predict how seven of the promos are likely to be released. The Charmander and Squirtle have the Chansey Pick logo, so they will probably be released as part of a Wonder Pick event, while the Blastoise, Eevee, Snivy, Volcarona, and Cinccino all have the logo previously seen in Solo Battle Events, so these will probably be released there. That just leaves the Pikachu and Moltres ex cards unaccounted for.
This is the third time that Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket has seen its promo cards datamined, with the Premium Pass Mewtwo and the Venusaur Battle Event cards all leaking previously.
