‘Red Collection’ Landorus Promo and Various Other BW Promos
No major Pokemon news this week, though that certainly isn’t the case for the world today.
As we reported earlier, a promo Landorus will be given out to people who buy booster boxes of Red Collection in Japan. Like Zoroark from the first Black & White Collections sets, it is a (future) reprint of the Landorus from the main set, but with alternate artwork. Bangiras has translated Landorus below. Additionally, when you buy four booster packs of Red Collection from stores in Japan, you will receive one of four secret promo cards which feature Pokemon from the two Victini movies; we probably won’t know what the Pokemon are until July.

In other promo news, a new CD single with the second Best Wishes ending, Pokemon Ierukana, will be released on June 22nd packaged with promo cards Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour. Each of the promos are stamped with “Pokemon Ierukana? BW.” The CD will cost 1,160 yen and will first be available as a limited edition, meaning that when more CDs are produced, they likely won’t have the promo cards.
