Sword & Shield: Polychromatic Gathering (Chinese: 剑 & 盾 九彩汇聚Sword & Shield Polychromatic Gathering) is the name given to the fourth Simplified ChinesePokémon Trading Card Game set in the Sword & Shield Era, and sixth overall set.
The set was released on March 1, 2024 and consists of 2 subsets: Friend (Chinese: 朋) and Origin (Chinese: 源). The Friend subset was assigned expansion mark CS4a, has the Eeveelutions as its cover Pokémon, and features Single Strike and Rapid Strike styles Pokémon. The Origin subset was assigned expansion mark CS4b, has DynamaxMew, Genesect, and Dragapult as its cover Pokémon, and features Single Strike, Rapid Strike, and Fusion Strike styles Pokémon.
As with all other Asian-exclusive sets, Polychromatic Gathering contains a large selection of cards in an effort to catch up with Japanese and international releases. However, this set also includes Reverse Type Holofoil prints of all Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, which are exclusive to Simplified Chinese sets. Another feature exclusive to the Simplified Chinese cards is that all Holofoil cards including Reverse Holofoil have an English Pokémon logo embossed at the bottom left corner of the card under Expansion and Regulation Marks as proof of authenticity.[1]Secret cards feature an additional watermark with larger Pokémon logo and a latent image of Poké Ball, which is printed inside the card's rule box or on the right of the rarity symbol if the card doesn't have a rule box.
This set comes in two different types of packs:
5-card booster packs include 5 cards per pack with one card guaranteed to be either Reverse Holofoil or has a rarity of Rare or above. Each 5-card booster box includes 30 booster packs.
25-card booster packs include 25 cards per pack with one guaranteed Pokémoncard. Each 25-card booster box includes 24 booster packs.
