Stage 1 Ninetales is the most notable card. Its Ability 「まやかし」 prevents the opponent from taking any Prize cards when this Pokémon is Knocked Out, provided the player's hand contains exactly 5 cards. The official page introduced this card with the strategy "まやかしの炎で相手を翻弄！" (Toy with your opponent with deceptive flames!), advising players to hold out by controlling their hand size. Its attack 「やきこがす」 deals 40 damage for 1 Fire Energy and leaves the opponent's Active Pokémon Burned.
Two Forms of Urshifu and 'Koban' Persian
Urshifu, evolving from Kubfu, appears in two different forms. Single Strike Urshifu's 「あんこくきょうだ」 deals a base of 120 damage, plus an additional 140 damage if 1 Darkness Energy attached to this Pokémon is discarded, totaling 260 damage. Rapid Strike Urshifu's 「すいりゅうれんだ」 deals 120 damage, and discarding 1 Water Energy allows it to deal 40 damage to each of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. The official page stated, "2つの型を使いこなして、相手を制圧！" (Master both forms to overpower your opponent!), guiding players to choose their evolution according to the battle situation.
Persian's Ability 「おおばんこばん」 allows the player to draw 2 cards from their deck once during their turn if they have 2 or more Pokémon with the attack 「ネコにこばん」 in play. Meowth, revealed on the same day, has this attack. Persian's attack deals 20 damage times the number of cards in hand. Kecleon's Ability 「シンクロボディ」 gives it the types of all Pokémon on the player's Bench in addition to its original type. The official page highlighted an example of targeting the Weakness of the opponent's Active Pokémon.
Korean Edition Schedule Has Not Been Announced
The Japanese edition of "Hado Seeker" will be released on November 27, priced at 200 yen (tax included) per pack of 5 cards.
