Go with the flow and discover powerful new strategies in Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike!
The Fusion Strike Pokémon Set charges into the Sword & Shield Series as its eighth main expansion, debuting in Japan on September 24, 2021 (as Fusion Arts) and in English on November 12, 2021. Packed with 284 cards, it’s the largest expansion in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, sourcing content not only from Fusion Arts but also from the High‑Class Decks, Sword & Shield Family Game set, Eevee Heroes, Skyscraping Perfection, Blue Sky Stream, and select S‑P promos. Each English booster delivers 10 cards, a basic Energy, and—for the first time—a code card for Pokémon TCG Live, while Japanese Fusion Arts packs contain five cards apiece. From the elegantly designed card frames to the swirling blue Fusion icon, every pull feels charged with potential.
At its heart, the Fusion Strike Pokémon Set spotlights the New Species Pokémon Mew, appearing as both Mew V and Mew VMAX in gorgeous artwork that captures its playful yet mysterious nature. But Mew isn’t alone—this set fully embraces the Fusion Strike playstyle, encouraging Trainers to weave together attacks, supporting Trainers, and special Fusion Energy cards to amplify each other’s power. Whether you’re deploying Mew VMAX’s Melodious Echo to disrupt your opponent or chaining Fusion Strike’s technical combos across your bench, this expansion rewards creativity and synergy like never before.
Beyond its gameplay innovations, the Fusion Strike Pokémon Set hides a trove of collector lore. Early Elite Trainer Boxes became hot tickets as fans vied for the secret‑rare rainbow‑foil Mew VMAX, which regularly fetched premium prices on secondary markets. Collectors also discovered that the “New Species” classification—used here for the first and only time—adds a unique line of text under Mew’s name, making it a standout in any binder. And eagle‑eyed enthusiasts spotted slight miscuts where the Fusion Strike icon overlapped the art, instantly elevating those cards to coveted error‑card status. With its blend of strategic depth, standout art, and pack‑ripping excitement, Fusion Strike stands as one of the most electrifying chapters of the Sword & Shield saga.
