The Pokémon Company has officially revealed the next OCG set to launch in Japan next month, Battle Legion.
Battle Legion will not only include a ton of new cards but also a brand new type of card called “Sparkling Pokémon.”
Sparkling Pokémon are the latest mechanic to join the Pokémon OCG and are limited to a single card per deck. Visually, Sparkling Pokémon are like shiny Pokémon. They boast a different coloring than their regular forms.
For gameplay, Sparkling Pokémon boast powerful moves and abilities, which is why they’re limited to a single card per deck. The two that were showcased by The Pokémon Company today are Greninja and Hawlucha.
