Pokemon TCG Night Wanderer: Release date

New Pokemon cards in Night Wanderer

Night Wanderer is a special set, so it’s not the biggest release out there, but it still has plenty of new and exciting Pokemon cards to look forward to. Highlights include new Hyper Rare artwork, Loyal Three full art cards, and photo-realistic artwork from the artist REND.

Another card that stands out here is the new Neutral Center ACE SPEC – this is the first ever Stadium ACE SPEC card in the game, so it’s one to watch if you play competitively. It prevents any Attack damage from Pokemon ex and Pokemon V to Pokemon without Rule Boxes.

The Neutral Center ACE SPEC can also be found under a slightly different name in Shrouded Fable, being called the Neutralization Zone ACE SPEC instead.

Pecharunt ex is a solid card to have as a player. It has the Attack “Irritating Burst” which deals 60 damage times the number of Prize cards the opponent has taken. Combining this with the decent HP pool of 190 makes this card sturdy and reliable.
