Fans of Pokémon TCG Live can now claim a set of stunning Illustration Rare cards for a limited time. The digital version of the popular monster-battling card game continues to expand its offerings, and this new distribution rewards players with a trio of Legendary Pokémon from the Unova region.
How to Claim the Free Illustration Rare Cards
Pokémon TCG Live has officially rolled out a new promo code that unlocks three Legendary Illustration Rares. By entering the code JUSTIFIED25 in the game’s shop, players will receive the following cards:
- Illustration Rare Virizion (White Flare)
- Illustration Rare Terrakion (White Flare)
- Illustration Rare Cobalion (Black Bolt)
The promo code is redeemable until October 9 at 10:00 A.M. PDT, after which the cards will no longer be available.
What Makes These Cards Special
Each of the three full-art cards not only features striking artwork but also offers unique gameplay advantages:
- Cobalion disrupts opponents by discarding Special Energy from their Active Pokémon.
- Virizion’s Giga Drain heals based on the damage it inflicts, providing strong sustain.
- Terrakion offers raw offensive power, bolstering Fighting-type strategies.
Illustration Rare cards are typically harder to obtain within Pokémon TCG Live, as they normally require players to wait a set period after expansion releases before they can be crafted. This free distribution gives players the chance to secure them much earlier.
Looking Ahead: Mega Evolution Returns
The promotion arrives ahead of a major shakeup for the trading card game. September marks the launch of the Mega Evolution expansion, bringing back Mega Pokémon for the first time since the X & Y era. Following this, fans can expect Phantasmal Flames, a new set that is already being teased and is rumored to spotlight Mega Charizard.
With Mega Evolution returning and more expansions on the horizon, Pokémon TCG and its digital counterpart are shaping up for an exciting end of the year.
