“Ancient Roar” and “Future Flash” Releasing in October, New Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur ex Decks!
We’ve learned Ancient Roar and Future Flash will release on October 27th. They are both listed as SV4.
We previously speculated the sets may feature Walking Wake and Iron Leaves to tie-in to the first Scarlet & Violet DLC releasing in the fall.
We’ve also learned a new “Special Deck Set ex Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise” will release on November 10th. The product will feature three decks headlined by Venusaur ex, Charizard ex, and Blastoise ex. No other information is currently known about this product.
It seems this product is supposed to tie in to the “Pokemon Trading Card Game Classic” Box Set releasing a few weeks later, which features the original Base Set Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.
Presumably the three Pokemon ex will be different than the ones releasing in Pokemon Card 151. They should feature alternate artwork or be entirely new cards.
