“Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky” Card Images
Update: Bangiras has destroyed her eyesight and has translated the very small Empoleon, Infernape, and Torterra card images.
The official Japanese TCG website has updated with images of Empoleon, Infernape, and Torterra from “Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky,” the next Japanese set that we posted about last month. All three Pokemon are in their second elemental type (Steel, Fighting, and Ground, which translates to Metal, Fighting, and Fighting in the TCG).
