Pokémon TCG - Sword & Shield - Battle Styles - Booster Pack

Battle Styles is the fifth expansion of the Sword & Shield series. In Japan, it was released as a two-set collection called Single Strike Master and Rapid Strike Master. It is based on the Pokémon Sword and Shield game and The Isle of Armor Expansion Pass, featuring Pokémon from the 8th generation.

This expansion introduces two new card variants: Single Strike and Rapid Strike. Single Strike cards focus on powerful, hard-hitting attacks that can knock out opponents with a single blow, while Rapid Strike cards employ more technical and sneaky attacks.

The centerpiece of this set is the Wushu Pokémon, Urshifu, available in both its forms: Single Strike Urshifu and Rapid Strike Urshifu. Urshifu evolves from Kubfu, and its evolution is determined by the item it is exposed to: the Scroll of Darkness for Single Strike Urshifu, and the Scroll of Water for Rapid Strike Urshifu. Each form of Urshifu is also a dual-type Pokémon: Fighting/Dark for Single Strike and Fighting/Water for Rapid Strike.

The set also includes stunning cards like Tyranitar V Alt Art and Empoleon V Alt Art, as well as trainers like Phoebe and Cheryl, which can be found as Alt Arts or Rainbow versions. True to the Sword & Shield trend, this set offers multiple Rainbow cards, including Urshifu VMAX, Corviknight VMAX, and Vicinity VMAX.

This expansion provides a rich and exciting collection with tons of potential for collectors and players alike!
