The Pokémon Trading Card Game Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable expansion continues to introduce mystical Pokémon from the land of Kitakami, including the Mythical Pokémon Pecharunt as a brand-new Pokémon ex. The story begins with Pecharunt ex, but we have more unique cards to unveil today from the over 95 new cards ready to be discovered right now at Owl Central Games.
The treacherous Pecharunt makes its Pokémon TCG debut as a Pokémon ex with a uniquely poisonous power that’s thematically appropriate for the Subjugation Pokémon. Its Subjugating Chains Ability makes it so that you can switch one of your Benched Darkness Pokémon—except any Pecharunt ex—with your Active Pokémon. If you do, the new Active Pokémon is now Poisoned, but that’s a small price to pay for a powerful pivoting effect. It can even benefit certain Pokémon or Trainer cards…just like the next card featured in our preview!
If you’ve played Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet’s epilogue, you’ll probably recognize this mochi. Thankfully, attaching this Pokémon Tool card won’t have the same spooky effect on your Pokémon. When you attach Binding Mochi to your Poisoned Pokémon, their attacks will do 40 more damage to the opponent’s Active Pokémon. That’s a pretty hefty damage modifier at the cost of your Pokémon taking 10 damage between turns, but you know what they say—no pain, no gain.
Illustrator Shinji Kanda does it again with a highly detailed illustration that fully captures the wonder of the Paradox Pokémon Iron Moth. The sleek and mechanical-looking Pokémon is perfectly centered among a batch of highly futuristic flowers that showcase its penchant for the cutting edge. As such, its Anachronism Repulsor attack fits its aesthetic perfectly, and it prevents all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks from Ancient Pokémon too.
