Secret Rares Are Out, and They’re Absolute Fire!
Japanese fans are already sharing the secret rares from the upcoming Battle Partners set, and the hype is real! The set officially drops in Japan this Friday, and we’ll get these cards in our Journey Together release this March.
Here’s the twist: this time, there are no Special Illustration Rares for Supporter cards—so no Brock, Iris, or Ruffian. Instead, we’re getting a fresh lineup of Trainer’s Pokémon SIRs, showcasing Trainers alongside their Pokémon in stunning artwork. This change fits perfectly with the block’s theme of celebrating iconic Trainer-Pokémon pairs.
What do you think about this shift in focus? Are you excited for the new Trainer-Pokemon SIRs, or were you hoping for more Supporter card love? Let’s hear your thoughts!
