‘Emerging Powers’ Set and Theme Deck Lists

Leaving home for Worlds now!

Thanks to Rainbowgym, we now have the set lists and theme decks for Emerging Powers, which, like many sets of the past, has been leaked in stores early. The two theme decks will officially be released everywhere on August 17th while the set’s official release date is August 31st. The first prerelease will take place this Sunday at Worlds while the United States will hold the regular ones the following two weekends. The lists are below along with the spoilers for the new Krookodile and Scolipede, which have currently not been released in Japan yet.

As expected, Emerging Powers is a combination of the cards that were cut from the first Black & White set, cards from the Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion Battle Strength Decks, cards from the Black and White Boys and Girls Starter Kits, and BW-P promo cards. There are also around 20 or so English-exclusive cards which may be apart of future Japanese sets like BW3 Hail Blizzard and Psycho Drive.
