TCG. 時の果ての絆。
Gym Leaders were not
featured in the Pokemon Trading Card Game since the Johto region back
in the early 2000's, so there was never really any hope for the Sinnoh
Gym Leaders getting their Pokemon or images featured on cards. Imagine
the surprise when some early preorder websites were offering card sets
that included "GL" Pokemon! Well, what else could GL be? It was
confirmed soon after that every Sinnoh Gym leader was getting their
Pokemon on cards - at least two per Gym Leader, and some with a third
Level X (an especially rare, powerful and sought after card type).
Volkner was soon found out to be getting not only Luxray, Raichu, and Luxray Level X, but the card art
featured gorgeous background paintings of Sunyshore Gym, and then a
week before the release of the set on Dec.
26th, 2008, it was revealed Volkner
himself and his Gym were also
getting their own cards (no other Gym Leader received this honor).
Volkner won with five cards total, and we here at Sunyshore could not
be happier!

Volkner's Philosophy
Supporter
Draw cards from your deck until you have 6 cards
in your
hand.
Before drawing cards, you may discard 1 card from your hand. (If you
can’t draw cards from your deck, this card can’t be played.)
You can only use a Supporter once during your
turn. To
use it, put
it into play next to your Active Pokemon and discard it at the end of
your turn

Sunyshore
City Gym
Stadium
Each player's Lightning-type Pokemon ignores
Resistance
when damaging the opponent's Active Pokemon.
Each player's Lightning-type Pokemon has no
Weakness.
You can put a Stadium into play next to your Active
Pokemon once
during your turn. If a Stadium with a different name is put into play,
discard this card. |
The above translations
and following info have come from Pokebeach.com.
- This set was released in Japan on December 26th.
- It is the second set based off Pokemon Platinum.
- There are 90 cards total, in addition to eight basic
Energy.
- The two theme decks feature Gallade and Infernape
from the Elite Four, and contain 24 unique, non-reprinted cards.
- All Pokemon with a Trainer on their card (Gym
Leader, Elite
Four, and Team Galactic-owned Pokemon) are Pokemon-SP, which makes them
Basic Pokemon. Thus, "owned" Pokemon in this set, like Luxray GL,
are Basic Pokemon and do not evolve from normal pre-evolution cards.
- Pokemon owned by Gym Leaders have "GL" at the end of
the
Pokemon's name, Elite Four Pokemon have "4" at the end, and Galactic
Pokemon have "G," as they did in Galactic's Conquest

postcard and matching postcard!
