English Gym Promos Coming to Southeast Asia — First Time Outside Japan!

Players who attend Twilight Masquerade prereleases in Southeast Asia will receive three English promo cards with exclusive “Pokemon Card Gym” stamps! They include Pidgeot ex, Arven, and Luminous Energy; however, there will be other cards released as well.

This is the first time English cards have ever featured Gym stamps. Japan always gets a new set of Gym promos every few months for their Gym tournaments. However, they’re usually brand new or feature alternate artwork. In this case, the English cards are merely reprints with the Gym logo.

Southeast Asia has been getting exclusive English promos lately, such as Chien-Pao ex and Iono with unique stamps. Some of them have been exceptionally rare, thus fetching high prices on the secondary market.
