News of a new Pokémon Trading Card Game set in Japan has been leaked through the advance listings of Japanese online stores "Hobby Base - Yellow Submarine" and "Gamefreak" (no relation to the company involved with the Pokémon games), to be released on June 29th in Japan.

Firm news on the set is still sparse. What we know for certain is summarised below.

  • Every single Pokémon in the set, including Pokémon ex and Pokémon ☆, are Delta Species.
  • There will be a total of 8 new Pokémon ex, including Gardevior ex (Fire) and Tyranitar ex (Lightning), and a total of 2 new Pokémon ☆.
  • There will be 2 60 card constructed decks, based on the new Gardevior ex & Tyranitar ex.
  • The constructed decks will include a new design of Pokémon coin.
  • Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile lines will be part of the set, along with other Pokémon from the Gold/Silver/Crystal era.

Further updates to the above will be posted in the discussion thread on Bulbagarden forums, linked to above, and on the discussion thread at PokéBeach and PokéGym. While there has been other "information" posted by various sources, at the time of writing, no Japanese references have yet been presented for them, and we ask that readers please visit the above linked discussion topics for confirmation regarding them.
