HOLLLLYY MISTY VALUE. IM READY!

As awesome as the news was for Pokémon Pocket today, unfortunately we got very few card reveals. Magmar seems like a pretty good big-basic. Blastoise EX has a unique 160 max damage. Clefable's damage per energy is good. MAN I CAN'T WAIT for next week :)

It's also worth noting that the game plans to soft launch in New Zealand ahead of its release. Not that I would ever recommend breaking ToS of course. But if you are anywhere near as interested in this game as I am, you'll be "moving to New Zealand" before release.

Anyway, that's about it. I guess if you're a TCG player, its worth noting we only have 3 bench lots in Pocket and we have a new system called the "Energy Zone." No concrete information on the Energy zone just yet.

Alternate arts, or "skins" have their own rarity system. 1 star = non-ex cards. 2 stars = EX cards. 3 stars = Cinematic Animation. (I believe this will be exclusive to EX cards too.) For the purpose of this rarity chart, its worth considering trainers both non-ex and EX.

4 rarities are in the game. 1 Diamond = Basics. 2 Diamonds = Big Basics and Stage 1s. 3 Diamonds = Stage 2s 4 Diamonds = EXs

Here is some stuff about progression and cosmetics you can spot in the trailer.

There appears to be 226 cards in the first set "Genetic Apex." with 60 cosmetics.
