Pokémon TCG: Fusion Strike Pre-release Promo Cards Revealed

Pokémon TCG was originally set to host pre-release events for their upcoming expansion, Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike, this weekend. The events would have allowed players and collectors alike to purchase Build & Battle kits which include deck-building materials, one of four SWSH Black Star Promo cards exclusive to this product, and their first taste of Fusion Strike with four brand-new booster packs. However, The Pokémon Company International announced a delay in the release of the Build & Battle kits for Sword & Shield – Fusion Strike, delaying the pre-release events until the following weekend, starting November 6th.
