Hello everyone!

I wasn’t expecting anything too exciting tonight, so I was surprised in a good way by what we got.

From the Pokemon TCG front, the next booster set has been announced and is scheduled for release August 3rd (Friday).

This set, called “Fairy Rise” (sm7b) will sell for 162 yen per pack, with each pack containing 5 random cards.

Along with the boosters, new original Pokemon Center exclusive card sleeves, featuring Mina and Ribombee, will also go on sale August 3rd. As is the case recently, sleeves will be sold in full deck packs and cost 777 yen including tax.

Last and not least! A surprise release for tomorrow (July 21st – Saturday) went up on the Pokemon Center’s official On-Line Store earlier today.

These tiny plush are sold blind packaged in pokeballs, which means that no, you can’t pick which Pokemon you get unless you’re really good at guessing weights to Pokemon while holding a sealed Pokeball.

Each plush is 864 yen including tax, and this set (the second from the series) includes 10 possible Pokemon: Umbreon, Espeon, Voltorb, Ditto, Pikachu, Pichu, Mareep, Chikorita, Totodile, and Cyndaquil.
