Since all the cards can now be viewed online, Pokémon Trading Card Game aficionados in search of more information on the upcoming Shrouded Fable set before August 2 release are in luck. Providing even more pocket monsters taken from the most recent Pokémon game Scarlet/Violet, the set looks to be a huge addition to the TCG. Apart from all the fresh cards, it's also bringing a new distinctive Holofoil pattern that appeals immediately to collectors of rare cards.
With only a total of 99 cards—64 main cards and 35 secret rares—Shrouded Fable is a rather small set when compared to the most recent releases according the official Pokémon TCG blog. The main ticket items in Shrouded Fable are the always valuable Hyper Rare cards, and unlike past sets, only one real Pokémon is categorized as such. Originally appearing in The Indigo Disk DLC, the Ghost/Poison Mythical Pokémon is making its TCG debut alongside the other Loyal Three members, all of whom likewise take top billing in the set: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.
Players of Pokémon TCG hoping to make some significant strikes in Shrouded Fable will have to consider that doing so could cost a good sum of money. Shrouded Fable won't be available in Booster Boxes since it's a Special Set, thus collectors will have to spend the money for products including Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles, Special Illustration Collections, and classic Booster Packs. Still, there are lots of cards worth the money even for people who want to create a deck rather than a collection.
First and most importantly is Okidogi ex, which players wishing to distribute damage also thin their opponent's deck could use first and foremost. It could easily be a solitary attacker that just requires other Pokémon for support since it can double its attack power and generate more energy.
Regarding Pecharunt ex, the legendary Pokémon isn't only a beautiful card as its Irritated Outburst deals 60 damage for every Prize card taken by an opponent, so acting as a strong finisher.
Those Pokémon Trading Cards seeking a more defensive advantage should go for Cassiopeia, maybe possessing one of the best skills in the whole set. In many games, the last card in a player's hand lets them search their deck for two cards and put them in their hand, so influencing their hand position. Knowing that Shrouded Fable is looking to be an interesting set helps one to start designing their decks.
