First Cards from “Battle Partners” Revealed!
The first cards from Battle Partners have just been revealed at Japan’s Champion’s League Osaka! (Some of then were already previewed in English last August.)
The set will contain 100 cards before secret rares. So far, there will be Trainer’s Pokemon for N, Lillie, Iono, and Hop.
As posted here before, Battle Partners will release in Japan on January 24th. We will get its cards in our Journey Together set on March 28th.
