The new collection of spookyPokémoncards will include 10 special holographic cards: Sinistcha, Teal Mask Ogerpon, Pikachu, Mimikyu, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Flutter Mane, Okidogi, Gengar, and Darkrai.

The special type of holographic makes it seem like thePokémonis floating in a galaxy of shimmering stars.
