In a surprise announcement, The Pokemon Company has unveiled Pokemon TCG Shrouded Fable, a new expansion set to release this Summer featuring the mythical Pokemon Pecharunt.
However, while the inclusion of mighty new cards like Pecharunt ex is certainly exciting, (especially with Pokemon Worlds 2024 coming up) a lot of fans are excited about a new type of art style being showcased by one of the newly revealed cards.
Alongside the major announcement of the Shrouded Fables set, The Pokemon Company also revealed a new Greninja ex full art, showcasing a new type of art style that Pokemon TCG fans have never seen before.
In a press release, Pokemon are describing this card and others in its style, calling them, “Highly Collectable Card Illustrations Inspired by Japanese Woodblock Artwork”.
