From the Battle Style announcement mentioned yesterday, the next Pokémon TCG Expansion for Sword and Shield; Rapid Strike Master (Rengeki s5r) and Single Strike Master (Ichigeki s5i) set has been officially revealed for Japan. Along with this the English set Battle Styles (SwSh5) has also been revealed.
Battle Styles
This new set introduces a mechanic similar to prior expansions like Black and White's Team Plasma and Team Magma where cards belong to one of two Battle Styles, either Rapid Strike or Single Strike. These cards will have abilities and trainers that allow you to draw cards with this typing or enhance them with special energy or items.
In addition they have created a new mechanic that involves EX, GX, V and other cards with Rule Boxes. The Empoleon card has an ability that stops all Basic Pokémon's Abilities unless they have a Rule Box.
Products
Each set will contain 70 cards + secret cards (SR or better) each and will release on January 22nd. Each Booster box will cost ¥4,950 JPY ($47 USD) and contain 20 packs containing 5 cards each.
The previously announced Ichigeki and Rengeki Trainers Boxes will also release for ¥6,400 JPY ($62 USD). These appear to be similar to the Pokémon Trainer's Toolkit we received and might be used for next years Trainer's Toolkit releasing in May.
Players who purchase five booster packs in Japan can receive different promo item depending on the store.
