Absol ex Revealed

We finally have another reveal from Ruler of the Black Flame.

[D] Future Sight: Look at the top 3 cards of either player’s deck and put them back in any order.

[D][D][C] Cursed Slug: 100+ damage. If your opponent has 3 or fewer cards in their hand, this attack does 120 more damage.

Quite an underwhelming card, but I’m happy Absol is getting some love.

Japanese Hair Product Includes Pokemon Cards

Japanese hair styling brand Nakano Styling Tanto (also referred to as Tanto) and The Pokémon Company will release a collaboration product with “Pokemon Card Game” releasing on August 1, 2023.

 

Tanto will release original Pokemon Card Game hair styling products based around the Energy Symbols, and a special Promo pack that includes 2 Tanto logo stamped Promo Cards.

A promo card pack contains 1 Basic Energy card and 1 Pokemon card. You get 1 random promo card out of 8 collectable types in 1 promo pack.

This is a smart promotion for both companies, but I will question anyone who buys all of the different hair products.

At the very least, a portion of the fanbase will have incentive to make themselves look decent.
