Introducing "The Glory of Team Rocket"

Hello, this is PokeNinJapan.  
On April 18, the Pokémon TCG set "The Glory of Team Rocket" will be released.  
It has been revealed that the set will feature Team Rocket members such as Giovanni and Pokémon like Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex.  
Today, we would like to introduce the information that has been revealed so far!
(The following details are taken from the official website.)

 

 

Feared by all, the infamous villainous organization—Team Rocket!

Team Rocket is an evil organization that exploits Pokémon around the world for its sinister schemes to make money.
They attack other people’s Pokémon, harm Pokémon, and commit various misdeeds.
Their signature mark is the red "R."
And now, Team Rocket's Pokémon are making their appearance as cards!

 

"Team Rocket's Pokémon" refers to Pokémon whose card names begin with "Team Rocket's." Regardless of the trainer depicted on the card, they are all treated as the same "Team Rocket's Pokémon" cards.  
Combine various "Team Rocket's Pokémon" to build your strategy!  

Trainers such as Giovanni and other members of Team Rocket are also included as Trainer cards!

We’re introducing some of the cards scheduled to be included in The Glory of Team Rocket!
