Everything We Want to See in Pokemon TCG Pocket’s A2a Set

screenrant.com:

is getting ready for a new card set. The celebration of Pokémon Day on February 27 marks the anniversary of the release of in Japan, an event that always brings tons of surprises in all corners of the Pokémon franchise. Ahead of the event, one thing we've already known about is the release of a brand new «mini-set» of cards for later this month.

The new set, codenamed «A2a,» will likely have a similar number of cards to the Mythical Island set released back in December. While we don't know many details about the set, datamines indicate that the set will be released on February 27th, which conveniently coincides with Pokémon Day festivities. Assuming that hasn't changed any of its plans, we'll be getting a new set of cards in the coming days.

There are some notable holes in, which focuses primarily on Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Perhaps the biggest hole involves Giratina, the third Legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. While Giratina has a normal Pokémon card,it's notably missing a Pokémon ex version, unlike its two other counterparts. It's widely expected that Giratina ex will be the mascot of the new set, with an appearance in booster set artwork similar to Mew in Mythical Island.

While normal Pokémon cards typically give some kind of clue as to their Pokémon ex's ability, Giratina is a frustratingly simple card. It has a Levitate ability that allows it to retreat for free if it has Psychic Energy on it and a Spooky Shot attack that deals 70 damage. Our guess is that Giratina ex, if released in the new set, will have much more power, with some kind of equivalent power to Palkia ex and Dialga ex.

Two other Pokémon missing Pokémon ex cards in the next set are Torterra and Empoleon. While Infernape received an awesome card in, the rest of the Sinnoh Starter Pokémon were unfortunately hung out to dry in the set. This
