Translations of New BW4 ‘Dark Rush’ Cards
Will post more updates later today, including how to enter the PokeBeach + Cinedigm contest and other info about this weekend’s Victini movie.
Bangiras has translated the nine new Dark Rush cards that were revealed in the new TCG commercial during Thursday’s episode of Best Wishes in Japan. As predicted, Volcarona is a reprint of the promo you can get when you buy a booster box of the set. Other cards shown in the commercial, like Darkrai EX, Krookodile, and Zoroark, were already revealed previously, and the Mandibuzz in the set was already released in our Emerging Powers set.
