What to expect from Pokemon TCGs Snow Hazard and Clay Burst expansions
The two stars of these two expansions are the Chien-Pao and Ting-Lu ex cards. Fans of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will recognize these two as half of the new Legendary Quartet, which fans have dubbed the Dark Quartet.
Interestingly, Chi-Yu ex was also revealed alongside the aforementioned Legendaries, but there was no sign of the final member of the quartet: Wo-Chien. It’s unclear whether or not Wo-Chien will be included in this set, but it would certainly be strange if it was the only member to be excluded.
The last ex card fans know of is Squawkabilly ex, which features art of the Green Plumage Flying-type Pokemon.
Another notable cards include the full Frigibax line all the way up to Gen 9’s Psuedo-Legendary Baxcalibur. Snow Hazard and Clay Burst also include cards featuring Dudunsparce, Tandemaus, and Maushold.
Finally, fans can expect a few Trainer cards in the form of a Super Rod card, a Charm of Courage card, and Grusha and Iono Supporter cards as well. For a full list of all the revealed cards, interested trainers can check the official product page from Japan.
