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. Other Trainers should also be featured in the set.
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.
Thanks goes to JustInBasil for the translations...

Well we got the answer as to how we accelerate energy to Zoroark for its deck, now it's more so a matter of how do we get EVERYTHING we need in play. Terapagos and Area Zero Underdepths is a maybe, just having the 2 open spots on board is enough and all we need, just Turo or Penny up one of the goobers you don't need anymore to replace it with Sigilyph or Reshiram. Possibilities are wide open. Lillie's fellas are gonna be a bit stallish, especially with a format with no tool removal as of yet. Iono could see something with Hyper Aroma Miraidon Levincia. Maybe a Pikachu ex Area Zero Underdepths just really lay into it all.
 
Iono is setting the stage for some awesome battle partner cards; Very concerned that we are not seeing Lillie's Alolan Vulpix. Been wanting something special for Alolan Vulpix for some time and Snowy would have been a perfect fit.
 
I really hope the power of these trainer-pokemon are well compensated. Those items look incredibly powerful and they could level up the power creep of the game so much.
 
The Iono’s package seems insane except the damage doesn’t seem like it’s there. Lillie’s Pearl is insane but unless you get Area Zero and a Tera in the mix Clefairy isn’t really hitting the numbers it needs to to make it a viable 2 prize (basically 1 prize if Poison isn’t involved) racing deck. The N’s package is clearly the most versatile with a ton of good/decent attackers that can be copied for relatively cheap, especially with the PP Up.

The one thing with the Iono’s and N’s packages though is they rely on Stage 1’s heavily. I guess Radninja and Regidrago out of the format means we have to worry less about tons of small basics on the bench, but Stage 1’s really aren’t doing well in the current meta.
 
The card says “point up” th

“Lillies pearl” is way to problematic tho
The name of the item in Japan is Point Up, but it's PP in English. If they follow the game naming, as they always do, they would have to call it PP.

Iono's having a missing piece as its own deck. Considering the pattern here is using their main series game team, then when I bulba it, Iono doesn't have a Basic Pokemon like idk a Zapdos. So where can we throw the energy from Bellibolt and put it as a nook button like Chien-Pao? The only ones we have are Electivire, Electrode, and Luxray. Same goes to Lillie. Her team in MSG is lame ad. Ribombee, A9, the only viable use for the tool is Lunala/Solgaleo.


Also, Hyper Aroma is rotating so its invalid.
 
This is Lillie's Team in PoMa, in MSG, she only has Ribombee, Clefairy and Comfey. I saw the pattern that they'll gonna use the main series games team as their basis, meaning these are the only options for Lillie deck.Screenshot_2024-12-22-17-23-29-53.jpg

Hyper Aroma is not rotating anytime soon. It's regulation H.
 
I wonder what the regular full arts will be like in this set. Will they have the trainer on them? Or just the pokemon like normal with a little jpeg trainer image
 
was it getting both a V and a VSTAR not special enough?
Nah, I wanted to see a card with both Lillie and Snowy in it. While the V was alright (as in it was illustrated), the VMAX was just a 3D model. I love cards that feature trainers with their Pokemon and feel like it was a missed opportunity in Silver Tempest; and, it would seem here it is about to repeat itself.
