Pokémon TCG: Heavy Hitters Collection Is Out Today
Along with the holiday-themed products, including the Trick-or-Trade BOOster Bundle and Holiday Calendar box, Pokémon TCG s releasing yet another product. This one is decidedly less festive and more about going head-to-head with opponents. The Heavy Hitters Premium Collection features a whopping fourteen booster packs along with reprinted cards featuring Lucario V, Tyranitar V, a holo Lucario, and a holo Tyranitar from previous sets. This product does not feature any exclusive SWSH Black Star Promos. This is a box for those who want a large selection of packs to open rather than those looking to collect promo cards. This could also appeal to sealed collectors, as it is a well-designed product that is, frankly, huge.
In addition to this news, here is the upcoming slate of Pokémon TCG releases for the second half of 2022:
