Here are some of the standout cards that have already been revealed:

• Lugia ex – Packs a punch with Elemental Blast, dealing 180 damage but requiring Fire, Water, and Lightning Energy (which it discards).

• Ho-Oh ex – Uses Phoenix Turbo to deal 80 damage and accelerate Energy to your Benched Pokemon.

• Red Gyarados – A shiny version with a powerful attack that scales based on how many Water Pokemon you discard from your Bench.

• Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile – The Gen 2 starters return with adorable art and simple but effective attacks.

• Pichu and Cleffa – Baby Pokemon make their debut as utility options. Their effects don't use energy but they are very squishy and easy to get rid of.

• Umbreon ex – Features Dark Chase, letting you switch in damaged Benched Pokemon from your opponent. Great for Weavile EX players.

• Espeon ex – Comes with Psychic Healing, a handy ability to heal your team.

• Trainer Cards – Includes Supporters like Lyra (a tactical switch) and Silver (hand disruption), plus items like Rescue Scarf and Elemental Switch for clever energy plays.

  
  

The set leans into nostalgia and strategy, blending iconic Pokemon with new mechanics like attacks that don’t require Energy and synergy between Lugia and Ho-Oh. It’s shaping up to be a meta-shifting release with over 200 cards to collect.
