Well, THANK GOD these are just gonna be promos. I would've temporarily quit collecting if these were in actual sets!
Look at them baiting us into buying those boxes with that pack selection.
It's not official yet, but it's assumed that it'll be allowed.
I feel like they'd even encourage that for tournament streams. It would just look better on stream.
I'd think it's unwieldy to ask someone to lay the V-UNION card out in full as it's "intended" to look, so you'd just play the one in the active/bench position as relevant, but as a courtesy the other three cards should be laid out somewhere so people don't have to go off memory (or constantly check their own/their opponent's discard) the full fleet of the card's power.
i.e. you don't want a Yu-Gi-Oh! anime scenario where you're activating 'secret abilities' your opponent didn't even realize existed.
Pokemon V-UNION is a powerful Pokemon V that fights in groups of four!
It's neither a basic Pokemon nor an evolved Pokemon, and you can't put it into play from your hand, but you can combine the four types of Pokemon V-UNION cards with the same name in your discard pile and put them on the bench as one Pokemon!
A Pokemon V-UNION with the same name can only be put into play once during a match, but a Pokemon V-UNION with a different name can be put into play even if another Pokemon V-UNION is already in play.
Pokemon V-UNION has high HP and 4 powerful tricks, and when it is knocked out , the opponent can take 3 prize cards.
More details still have to wait TPCi official.

Can someone track these SWSH Promos? The numbers are getting out of hand. We're at the second year of the SWSH era and we hit #178 already.
And this new mechanic will only make that worse lol
Competitively viable V-Union will probably cost at least this much as a set. And I’m PRETTY sure that Greninja V-Union will be competitively viable.
How much will it cost to complete one of these sets by buying single cards? Not sure. Most promo Vs are currently sitting at about $1 or $2, and since these are popular Pokémon, I would estimate about $8 as a set once the prices have cooled down, but I’m probably not very accurate in that guess.
If you think about it, this isn’t much different than buying a $40, six pack Premium Collection, where you pay $16 for the promo cards, coin, and pin. If you’ve ever bought a Premium Collection, buying one of these shouldn’t seem like such a bad deal. It all comes down to your personal decision on whether to buy the sealed product or the singles.
I will probably get the jumbo cards themselves over the pieces in this scenario. The art is gorgeous but the split cards really wrecks it for me.
Just a friendly reminder that you still need the pieces to play, though I doubt that you’ve forgotten that.
ALTHOUGH, I must admit that I’m not too keen on collecting the 4x4 cards... not because they look bad (they don’t), or because I am bothered by their broken up nature (I’m not particularly bothered by it, although that may change), but because I have a 3x3 binder and not a 2x2 or 4x4, and it’s gonna be a pain to only have a single V-Union fit on one page.
I am fully aware you need them to play
I don't ever really intend to play the card game again unless that supposed Evolution format happens. While I may get these boxes for the jumbo cards and packs, the V-unions might be shoved into my 2x2 binder. Regardless, they have no play value to me.
I wish Greninja was just a regular V/Vmax rather than that awkward V-Union card but oh well
My playmat isn't nearly big enough to handle these.
You wouldn't get all of the attacks and abilities in that case though.
