Battle Region (Japanese: 強化拡張パック バトルリージョン Strength Expansion Pack: Battle Region) is the name given to the ninth Japanese subset released during the Sword & Shield Era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It complements the ninth main expansion, Star Birth, and features Pokémon from the Hisui region that debuted in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Information
Strength Expansion Pack: Battle Region is a subset containing at least 67 cards and is set for release in Japan on February 25, 2022. Each booster pack contains six cards. The subset features several Pokémon that made their debut in the core series title Pokémon Legends: Arceus, such as Wyrdeer, Kleavor, and Hisuian regional forms, in addition to supporting characters from the game. The subset also includes more Character Rare Full Art cards featuring Pokémon Trainers following their reintroduction in the VMAX Climax subset, Pokémon with zero-cost attacks for the first time since the Cosmic Eclipse expansion, as well as a new gameplay mechanic: Radiant Pokémon. Radiant Pokémon are comparable to Shining Pokémon from the Neo Series and Pokémon ☆ from the EX Series, in that they depict the Shiny form of a Pokémon and have a Rule Box stipulating only one copy can be included in a deck. Radiant Pokémon have a Pixel Crosshatch Holofoil pattern and have a new 'K' rarity, likely derived from their Japanese name, Kagayaku. Each common and uncommon card from the subset also has a Mirror Holofoil variant, which feature a Poké Ball pattern.
