Shadowy Secrets & Toxic Tricks!
Rumors swirl and memories deceive as the march of time beats on in the land of Kitakami! Prepare for nightfall and discover a malevolent presence as Pecharunt ex commands the Loyal Three—Okidogi ex, Munkidori ex, and Fezandipiti ex—to do its nefarious bidding. Meanwhile, Revavroom ex plugs into the grid to Terastallize into a Lightning type, and Kingdra ex makes a royal splash in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable expansion!
Additionally, Shrouded Fable introduces a new unique Holofoil pattern to Pokémon Trading Card Game cards known as "parallel foil." Like other types of Reverse Holofoil cards, parallel foil cards can be distinguished by the white expansion code box with black text, in contrast to regular cards, which have black expansion code boxes with white text.
Some cards in Shrouded Fable have effects focused on making the player's own Active Pokémon Poisoned. Pecharunt ex can switch Darkness-type Pokémon to the Active Spot and make them Poisoned while Janine's Secret Art can attach additional Energy to Darkness-type Pokémon while making them Poisoned. These effects can be combined with Binding Mochi, which increases damage dealt by Poisoned Pokémon, and with Okidogi ex, which can become Poisoned from its first attack to deal increased damage with its second attack. Munkidori ex can also synergize with Pecharunt ex, as Munkidori ex's Ability reduces the Prize cards opponents take when it is Knocked Out if Pecharunt ex is in play. Additionally, the Pokémon Crobat, Malamar, and Kyurem have effects that interact with the Supporter cards Janine's Secret Art, Xerosic's Machinations, and Colress's Tenacity, respectively.
