Pok�mon CG - EX Battle Boost

The latest set of cards is out tomorrow in Japan. This set is a special set commemorating the last three years of cards. This set is 80% reprints with 20% new cards, but all feature new artwork, any of which follow a small story across several cards. It also includes some crossover cards to the Japanese variety show, Pok�mon Smash. As such, I have compiled a set listing with assistance from Guested for translations, and have updated the CardDex with the cards from this set. Click the image to go to our MegaloCannon page
