Surprise ‘Silver Lance’ & ‘Jet-Black Spirit’ Reveal — But No Calyrex Cards Shown?

By: Water Pokémon Master · Posted Posted onMar 11, 2021 at 9:34 PM · 0 Comments

Surprise! Pokemon has officially revealed S6H Silver Lance & S6K Jet-Black Spirit! This is on the same night they revealed all the cards from Matchless Fighters, which releases next week. This is the first time they’ve revealed a future set before an upcoming one has released.

Although we know the set features both Calyrex forms as Pokemon V and VMAX, they were not revealed. This is one of the few times the featured Pokemon were not unveiled at the same time as the set. Could this be because the cards will debut the new V-Union mechanic?

Each set will feature 70 cards before secret rares. They will release on April 23rd.

The set’s jumbo pack has also been revealed. As posted before, it will release on April 23rd for 990 yen. It will come with two booster packs of each set, a Pokemon coin, and three promo cards — a reverse holo Trainer card, a reverse holo Energy card, and either a holo Ice Rider Calyrex V or Shadow Rider Calyrex V. The two Pokemon V will be different from the ones included in the sets

It was also revealed tonight that the following card sleeves and deck boxes will release on March 19th:

As posted before:

Silver Lance will focus on Single Strike cards and feature Water-type Ice Rider Calyrex as both a Pokemon V and VMAX. Jet-Black Spirit will focus on Rapid Strike cards and feature Psychic-type Shadow Rider Calyrex as both a Pokemon V and VMAX.

The sets will feature several special art cards that emphasize a Pokemon’s environment. The teaser info for January’s Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master mentioned this too. They’re likely referring to alternate art cards like the two Urshifu VMAX.

The sets will continue to introduce new Battle Style Pokemon, Supporters, and Item cards, which we already knew.

The set will also see the release of deck boxes and sleeves featuring Ice Rider Calyrex and Shadow Rider Calyrex.

This year’s Japanese sets include Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master in January, Matchless Fighter in March, and Silver Lance and Jet-Black Spirit in April. We also know about trademarks for…
