New PTCG Product: ‘Furious Fists Launch Kit’

A brand new PTCG product will debut with Furious Fists on August 13th! This one is called the "Furious Fists Launch Kit" and is unlike any PTCG product released before. It comes with two booster boxes worth of Furious Fists booster packs (72 packs), eight theme decks, and 16 holo promo cards.

This product seems to be targeted at folks who like to buy Pokemon cards in bulk or who want to hold their own mini prerelease or those who run small card shops... or something. As of now we do not have a price or product image, nor do we know what the promo cards are (hopefully they won't be unique to this kit or it'll be expensive to get them).

Supercharge your Pokémon Trading Card release day with the XY - Furious Fists Launch Kit! It includes 72 booster packs and 8 theme decks from the XY - Furious Fists expansion, plus 16 foil promo cards to trade, play, and add to your collection!

Each kit contains:

• 72 Furious Fists booster packs!
• 8 Furious Fists theme decks!
• 16 exciting foil cards: 8 each of two designs!
• A unique shelf display to hold the product for the new release

Diancie’s Relationship to Carbink Revealed

The official English website has revealed Diancie along with new information about its relationship to Carbink. As we confirmed a few months ago, it is not Carbink's evolution. Diancie's ability is Clear Body. You can see shiny Diancie in the first screenshot below. Its diamonds are darker pink.

Diancie is an extremely rare Pokémon, created when Carbink undergoes a strange mutation. Its glittering pink body is said to be the most beautiful sight in the world.

Groups of Carbink tend to gather around Diancie, but Diancie pays them little heed and acts only according to its own will.

Diancie can create diamonds out of thin air by compressing the carbon in the atmosphere with its hands. It uses these jewels in battle to attack enemies and protect itself.

All ‘Legendary Treasures’ Scans!

We now have all scans of Legendary Treasures thanks to Torterra Chips and AnonPokemon! Prereleases for the set start today.

Every booster pack contains 4 common cards, 2 uncommon cards, 1 rare, 1 reverse holo, and 2 Radiant Collection cards.

Unfortunately, Imakuni? did not make it into the set despite being part of EX Battle Boost. The Pokemon Enterprise cards also did not make the cut.
