V-Union: Together we are strong!

On August 20, 2021, the first decks containing V-Union Pokémon will be launched in Japan. These are special pair cards (4 pieces) which together make up a whole. Greninja V-Union, Mewtwo V-Union and Zacian V-Union are known so far. Each V-Union card can have several abilities and attacks. Logically, only one attack can be used per turn, but the abilities can all be activated (if possible). All V-Union Pokémon can only be played if all four pieces are in your discard pile. A player can only play a V-Union Pokémon with the same name once per turn. However, any number of V-Union Pokémon with different names can be played. In battle, V-Union Pokémon give the opponent 3 Prize cards. They are neither Basic nor Evolved Pokémon.
