The Special SV8.5 Set for the Pokemon TCG releases January, featuring Eevee and Legendary

The new Special Set 8.5 has been announced! The first wave of products will release on Friday, January 17th.

They will include an Elite Trainer Box, a Poster Collection, three Tech Sticker Collections, and a Binder Collection. These will have the same configurations as ones from previous special sets, such as 151 and Paldean Fates.

We expect our 8.5 set will be comprised of cards from Japan’s upcoming ex Starter Deck Generations decks, which will release on November 22nd. There will be nine decks featuring a Legendary Pokemon from each generation paired with another Pokemon from the same generation (spare Pikachu in Generation I, which takes the place of the Legendary):

Pikachu ex & Snorlax ex
Lugia ex & Tyranitar ex
Kyogre ex & Blaziken ex
Dialga ex & Lucario ex
Reshiram ex & Amoongus ex
Xerneas ex & Noivern ex
Tapu Koko ex & Mimikyu ex
Zacian ex & Alcremie ex
Koraidon ex & Paldean Clodsire ex

The set may also feature cards from Terastal Festival, which will release in Japan on December 6th. The set will be headlined by Eevee and its evolutions.
