Japanese Leafeon vs. Metagross Expert Deck, Battle Starter Decks
The official Pokemon Card website has updated tonight with images from the Leafeon vs. Metagross Expert Deck and four Battle Starter Decks we reported about back in September and October. The products will be released in Japan on November 20th.
The “Leafeon vs. Metagross Expert Deck” is split into two sixty-card decks (120 cards total, eight holos). The Leafeon deck comes with Leafeon, Roserade, Shaymin, Torkoal, and a new Supporter called Interviewer’s Question. The Metagross deck contains Metagross, Mismagius, Jirachi, Rare Candy, and a new Goods card called Pokemon Circulator. Translations are below, courtesy of Bangiras and Jason.
As for the TCG simulator included in the package, we have confirmed it will allow players to battle each other online with your own custom decks. There will be an online ranking system, you can make your own friend’s list, and we think there is an offline mode as well. More information on this program will be released later.
