Special English “Scarlet & Violet” 8.5 Set Releasing in January, Likely Featuring Eeveelutions and Legendary Pokemon!
As expected, we will be getting a special Scarlet & Violet 8.5 set!
Its first wave of products will release on Friday, January 17th.
They will include an Elite Trainer Box, a Poster Collection, three Tech Sticker Collections, and a Binder Collection. These will have the same configurations as ones from previous special sets, such as 151 and Paldean Fates:
More products will surely follow, such as Mini Tins and ex Boxes.
We expect our 8.5 set will be comprised of cards from Japan’s upcoming ex Starter Deck Generations decks, which will release on November 22nd. There will be nine decks featuring a Legendary Pokemon from each generation paired with another Pokemon from the same generation (spare Pikachu in Generation I, which takes the place of the Legendary):
Pikachu ex & Snorlax ex- Lugia ex & Tyranitar ex
- Kyogre ex & Blaziken ex
- Dialga ex & Lucario ex
- Reshiram ex & Amoongus ex
- Xerneas ex & Noivern ex
- Tapu Koko ex & Mimikyu ex
- Zacian ex & Alcremie ex
- Koraidon ex & Paldean Clodsire ex
The set may also feature cards from Terastal Festival, which will release in Japan on December 6th. The set will be headlined by Eevee and its evolutions.
As usual, all of this information is preliminary and subject to change.
