Pokémon TCG Reveals New Hidden Ditto Cards With Peelable Layer
A quirky new feature for Ditto cards has been announced for the Pokémon TCG, as part of the upcoming Pokémon GO expansion set, with players able to peel the new cards should they have the Ditto marking. The Pokémon GO set was originally revealed earlier this year in March, and marks the first full card expansion between the mobile game and the TCG.

The joint production from the two popular Pokémon properties was kicked off last year with the announcement and later release of a special Professor Willow card for Pokémon TCG.
