This article brought to you by Bulbanews, your community Pokémon newspaper.

Update: The "Once during your turn (before your attack)" clause on Greninja's Water Shuriken was accidentally misinterpreted as "You can't use more than 1 Water Shuriken Ability each turn". The mistake has since been fixed. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

The upcoming December 2013 issue of CoroCoro has revealed several new cards from the next expansions Collection X and Collection Y, as well as some additional promotional cards. Featured is a new Pokémon-EX, Garchomp-EX, as well as a new Greninja card, a new Item card Evolution Soda, as well as a few promotional cards related to the first expansion. Garchomp-EX, a Fairy-type Dedenne, Honedge, and Skiddo are all part of a XY-P Promotional run: those who purchase at least ¥1000 worth of product at select stores will receive one of the four promos. Collection X and Collection Y will be released in Japan Dec. 13, 2013.

Translations of the new cards can be read below. Many thanks to Dogasu for the scans.
