In March the new expansion for the collective card game from Pokémon. MeinMMO may exclusively reveal 2 of the new cards and shows you the preview cards.
What kind of expansion is that? The new expansion “Karmesin & Purpur-travel companions” will be released on March 28, 2025. The highlight of the expansion is the so-called trainer-Pokémon, in which Monster is shown in connection with their iconic trainers.
The four trainer cards will be Hops Zacian-Ex, Enigmaras Wampitz-Ex, NS Zoroark-Ex and Lillys Piepi-Ex. However, there are many other cards that come into play.
This also includes two new cards for the legendary Eis-Vogel Pokémon Arktos from the first generation. And we present them here.
Arkto’s new cards in Karmesin & Purpur – travel companions
This is the new Arktos card: Arktos comes into play as the type of water. It has 110 kp, is resistant to fighter attacks (30 damage less), but susceptible to electric attacks (double damage). Its retreat costs are only an energy.
This is how the two new cards look:
Arktos comes in 2 new designs.
Arktos has two attacks in their luggage: frosty flutter and ice blaster.
Due to frosty fluttering, Arktos quickly gets the energies that are required for ice blaster. After two rounds you can unleash a mighty attack that adds your opponent. Since Arktos is a basic Pokémon, you do not need any developments.
When are the new cards? The two Arktos cards and the extension “Karmesin & Purpur-travel companions” will appear on March 28, 2025.
More about the collective card game: The Pokémon collecting card game has been very popular with players, but also collectors for many years. Especially in recent years, a hype came up again, who focused on the game again. This attention often provides beautiful, sometimes unfortunate experiences.
A boy just had a positive experience who was given a whole collection of rare cards. You can read more about this here. On the other hand, there are also stories in which the hype around Pokémon cards caused trouble. For example, there was an incident in which a museum distributed a rare promo card-but greedy collectors ruined the action and the museum had to stop it.
Overall, the collection cards should primarily ensure fun – whether when collecting, swapping or playing. What experiences have you already gained the card game?
