The Mysterious Pokémon TCG V Box For Fall 2022 Revealed As Virizion

For weeks, I have referenced a mysterious Pokémon-V box that is set to be released this fall. We knew, thanks to PokéBeach, that this box was coming and that it would include a V card and four Pokémon TCG booster packs, but we had no confirmation or even clues as to what the focus Pokémon would be. Now, it has been revealed that this box will feature Virizion V. Virizion is one of the three Unova Legendaries known as the Swords of Justice, along with Cobalion and Terrakion. Virizion had a Full Art V in Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance, and now this standard Virizion V will be a SWSH Black Star Promo only available in this box. It will be released on October 14th, 2022.
