Pokémon TCG Will Release Mew VMAX League Battle Deck

This has been quite a release weekend for the Pokémon TCG. We have seen the release of the Heavy Hitters Premium Collection with fourteen packs and Lucario and Tyranitar reprints, the Trick-or-Trade BOOster Packs bundle meant for giving out on Halloween, the Holiday Calendar Box which includes a SWSH Black Star Promo of Pikachu, and even a Pokémon TCG Japan release with the set Incandescent Arcana. In addition to these new drops, we got the announcement of a product for players coming later this year called the Mew VMAX League Battle Deck. This product includes reprinted cards of the Mew V (two copies), Mew VMAX (two copies), and Genesect V (two copies) along with a 60-card deck, a deck box, condition markers, damage counter dice, a coin, and more. This product will retail for $29.99 and will be released on November 11th.
