XY5 Cards Revealed in ‘CoroCoro,’ Booster Packs to Feature ORAS Pokemon Download Cards
We have received exclusive images of CoroCoro‘s Gaia Volcano and Tidal Storm pages a day ahead of the magazine’s release! The pages reveal Kyogre-EX (#11/70) and Groudon-EX (#39/70) as well as Sceptile, Blaziken, and Swampert. Translations are below thanks to Franco T. and Bangiras! As posted earlier, the set will be released in Japan on December 13th.
Gaia Volcano will focus on Fire, Fighting, and Steel-type Pokemon while Tidal Storm will focus on Water, Darkness, and Fairy-type Pokemon. In other words, the two sets will be fighting each other!
Separate from CoroCoro, the product sell sheet has also revealed that the set’s booster packs will come with special code cards that allow you to download Pokemon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire that you can’t get through normal gameplay. You can also download items. You will have to go to a website to redeem the codes. The cards will feature a screenshot from OR/AS and are meant to be collectible. No other specifics were revealed.
The Super Legend Set: Xerneas-EX and Yveltal-EX has also been showcased in CoroCoro. The package will come with reprints of the Pokemon’s regular and full art Pokemon-EX cards from XY. However, the regular EX will be reprinted with America’s exclusive XY promo artwork for the first time.
