Fusion Strike

Released: 12 November 2021

Fusion Strike revolves entirely around the introduction of the new Fusion Strike style, a battle strategy where Pokémon and Trainers strengthen each other seamlessly — a fresh addition alongside the familiar Single Strike and Rapid Strike mechanics. Mew stands at the center as the face of the set, appearing multiple times and reaching its most impressive form with Mew VMAX, while cards like Gengar VMAX and Espeon VMAX claim the most coveted spots in every collection. For those seriously invested in the Sword & Shield series: Fusion Strike was the largest expansion ever released in English at the time, and that fact alone makes it a meaningful milestone to have in your archive.
