•Tera Pokémon and Tera Types:The Tera mechanic, inspired by Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, is a central feature of this expansion. Tera Pokémon undergo a crystallization process, and their Tera Types can be different from their original types. This allows for unique strategic depth, as these Pokémon gain new abilities, resistances, and moves.For example, a Tera Charizard EX could take on a Tera Dragon type, making it more versatile and powerful in battle.
•Tera Pokémon EX:The expansion features Tera EX cards, which showcase the power of Pokémon with Tera transformations. These cards come with high HP and powerful moves but also give up two prize cards if knocked out, making them high-risk, high-reward plays. Examples include Tera Raichu EX, Tera Gardevoir EX, and Tera Charizard EX.
•New Trainer and Supporter Cards:The expansion introduces new Trainer cards and Supporter cards that interact with Tera Pokémon, helping to set up these powerful transformations in battle. These cards offer enhanced strategic options, allowing players to maximize the effectiveness of their Tera Pokémon and tailor their decks accordingly.
•Special Art Rares (SAR):The Special Art Rare (SAR) cards are some of the most sought-after in this set, offering a visually stunning twist on Pokémon art. The SAR cards often feature intricate, full-art designs with special effects that make them highly collectible.
