Oddish, Ether, Scizor and more revealed from Freeze Bolt, Cold Flare
This article brought to you by Bulbanews, your community Pokémon newspaper.
Update: Full translations of Electivire, Lunatone, Scizor, and Ether have been added below.
The August issue of CoroCoro Ichiban! as well as a new commercial posted on the official site have revealed quite a few cards from the upcoming Japanese TCG expansions, Freeze Bolt and Cold Flare. The two expansions will be released July 13 in Japan.
Newly revealed cards from Freeze Bolt include Lunatone, Marill, and the in set print of Flygon, and new cards from Cold Flare include Electivire, Dusknoir, Timburr, Scizor, and Ether. Additionally revealed is a new promotional card, Keldeo, due to release in July.
Partial translations have been posted below; however, larger scans of the issue will be available later today, so Lunatone and Ether will have their text confirmed then. Cards from the commercial are currently illegible.
