The Pokémon Company International announced that a new special expansion for the bestselling Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable, will be available beginning Aug. 2, 2024, at participating retailers worldwide, including Pokémon Center, the premier online destination for official Pokémon merchandise.
Pecharunt, originally discovered in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, will make its Pokémon TCG debut in Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable as a Darkness-type Pokémon. Players can use Pecharunt ex to switch in a Benched Darkness-type Pokémon by using its Subjugating Chains ability. Pecharunt ex can be paired with Okidogi ex, Munkidori ex and Fezandipiti ex to unlock different play combinations.
In addition, parallel foil cards in Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable will feature a new, unique foil pattern surrounding the card artwork. Players can identify cards in the parallel foil set by viewing the expansion code at the bottom-left corner of the card. It’s normally in a black box with white text, but in this case, it will be illustrated in a white box with black text.
Noteworthy cards from the expansion include:
- Three ACE SPEC rare Trainer cards
- Five Pokémon ex and one Tera Pokémon ex
- 15 illustration rare Pokémon
