About this deal
The newest set of Pokémon cards, Sword & Shield: Battle Styles, hit shelves on March 19th. This new set, the fifth main Sword & Shield expansion, introduces a new mechanic to the Pokémon TCG with Single Strike and Rapid Strike battle styles. This new mechanic will make this a highly playable set, but will it also appeal to collectors? We already reviewed a Booster Box and an Elite Trainer Box thanks to the Pokémon Company, and this time we're opening a new collection box: the Blastoise VMAX Battle Box. Blastoise VMAX Battle Box and promo. Credit: Pokémon TCG The Promo Bold indicates a main expansion. Italics indicate a special set. Releases that are entirely composed of prints from other releases are small.
I have been running reset stamp and Dedenne GX, so some recommendations on replacements post rotation would be awesome. Any other recommendations are welcome as well!
