Pokemon Sword & Shield 4.5 Confirmed for February!!
Happy November everyone! To start off the cold months we're hoping to warm you up with some incredible Pokemon news! The 25th anniversary set has been announced for release in February with some incredible products too! Sword & Shield 4.5 will see the return of the mini set and if the rumours are to be believed, it may even feature the return of the the Shiny Vault!
For this set, the products that have been announced seem to similar to the products we got for Hidden Fates last year, so a lot of cool stuff to get! Here is a list of everything to expect when the set releases on the 19th February.
Firstly we have the Sword & Shield 4.5 Elite Trainer Box. We have no confirmation of the contents or what it looks like right now but we are to assume it will include 10 booster packs from the set, a set of dice, condition markers, sleeves and of course a special promo card for this product! Which Pokemon do you think will feature? It seems a bit too soon for another Pikachu or Charizard so could be something a bit more obscure for the 25th anniversary set!
Next up we have Pin Collections! Due to the pricing of this item and the fact there's 8 boxes in a display it seems very similar to the Mew & Mewtwo Pin Collections from Hidden Fates. We are safe to assume there will be two different Pin Collections with this one too! We would imagine it would be 3 booster packs, one pin and one promo card for the set. As soon as we have the info we'll post it right here!
Remember those Hidden Fates Tins that everyone loves so much? Well Sword & Shield 4.5 comes with some tins too! There's a slight difference with these less in a case than the Hidden Fates Tins. With this we are to assume there's two designs rather than 3 but time will tell exactly what the product will entail! It seems like it may be a different type of tin and as soon as we get confirmation of this we'll let you all know on our social media!
Finally we have a Sword & Shield 4.5 V Box! It seems like this one will be what we can expect from a normal V Box with one promo card and 4 booster packs but the featured Pokemon remains a mystery for now! Please let us know who you think will get a V Box for this special set!
So you must be wondering what could possibly be in this set? Well we have a pretty good idea. Currently Japan is hyped for their next Shiny set called Shiny Star V. This set features loads of new shiny Pokemon. This was likely to be what we got for Sword & Shield 4.5 but now we have some leaks to further prove this theory. Down below you can find some images of the English Shiny Star V Cards that were leaked last week. You can see a Shiny Gigantamax Charizard, Shiny Gigantamax Lapras, and some amazing rares that were revealed for Shiny Star V. Only time will tell if this turns out to be SWSH4.5.
That's all the news from us this morning!
