Hi there. This short post covers more card reveals from Pokemon Japan's Ninja Spinner set. Pokemon Taiwan and Hong Kong revealed Ampharos and Keldeo cards.
Ninja Spinner releases in Japan on March 13, 2026 while the English set, Chaos Rising, releases in May 2026.
I have decided to put this post in my blog instead of Hive Gaming this time around.
Keldeo is a Basic Water Pokemon with 110 HP, one retreat cost and Lightning weakness. The first attack requires 1 Water Energy to deal 20 damage to the Active opponent's Pokemon and 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokemon. This is an okay spread attack for the early game.
The second attack is called Reflect Energy. This requires 2 Water Energy to deal 70 damage plus you move 1 Energy from the Keldeo to 1 of your Benched Pokemon.
Ampharos is the final Stage 2 Evolution of Mareep. This Ampharos has 160HP, a two retreat cost and Fighting weakness.
The Flash Bolt attack requires 1 Lightning Energy and 1 Colourless Energy to deal 140 damage. Its drawback is that during your nest turn, this Ampharos cannot use Flash Bolt (unless it goes to the Bench and returns back to the Active Spot).
Synchronized Pulse on Ampharos activates when you and your opponent has the same number of cards in hand. Then this Ampharos does 80 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokemon before Weakness and Resistance.
This Ampharos is essentially a beatstick attacker. It's not awful but I don't think this will see much competitive play. Too many cards needed to get this in play for not so scary damage.
Thank you for reading.
