Introduction:
The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) community in Japan is buzzing with excitement as the highly anticipated
Shiny Treasure ex Shiny Charizard Revealed. With its release scheduled for December 1st, this set promises to captivate collectors and players alike with its stunning shiny Pokémon cards and a plethora of secret rares. In this blog post, we will delve into the details of this upcoming set, its unique features, and its significance within the Japanese TCG landscape.
A Glimpse into Shiny Treasure ex:
Shiny Treasure ex is Japan's annual reprint set, designed to ensure that cards from the previous year remain accessible to Japanese players and collectors. While the main set primarily consists of reprinted cards, we can expect to see around 15-30 brand new cards alongside them. This set follows the tradition of previous shiny sets like VMAX Climax and Shiny Star V, featuring alternate shiny artwork for reprinted cards.
A Bounty of Secret Rares:
One of the highlights of Shiny Treasure ex is the abundance of secret rare cards. With over 150 secret rare cards expected in this set, collectors will have a treasure trove of shiny Pokémon to add to their collections. For instance, the highly sought-after shiny Charizard ex will be card #331/190, showcasing the scale of secret rares in this set. This abundance of secret rares is reminiscent of the previous Shiny Star V set, which boasted a total of 330 cards.
Reprints and New Additions:
As mentioned earlier, Shiny Treasure ex primarily consists of reprinted cards, ensuring the availability of popular cards from the past year. However, collectors will also find a selection of new cards to
add to their collections. These new additions, combined with the reprints, create a diverse and exciting set for players and collectors alike.
Shiny Pokémon and Rarity:
Shiny Treasure ex introduces shiny Pokémon cards to the Scarlet & Violet Era, featuring different artwork from their regular counterparts. Regular Pokémon ex cards in this set maintain their "RR" rarity, while regular shiny Pokémon cards have the "S" rarity. Shiny Pokémon ex cards utilize their prior Full Art print artwork and have the "SSR" rarity. It's worth noting that cards other than Pokémon ex and shiny Pokémon do not have rarity symbols.
Pack Contents and Future Prospects:
Each booster pack of Shiny Treasure ex contains 10 cards, with a guaranteed Pokémon ex card included. This set is expected to become part of the upcoming unnamed Scarlet & Violet 4.5 set in January, continuing the tradition of High Class Packs featuring reprints and Pokémon ex cards.
Conclusion:
Shiny Treasure ex is set to dazzle Pokémon TCG enthusiasts in Japan with its abundance of secret rares and shiny Pokémon cards. As a reprint set, it ensures the availability of beloved cards from the previous year while introducing new additions to keep collectors and players engaged. With its release just around the corner, anticipation is high for this glittering addition to the Japanese Pokémon TCG.
