When youre done with the AI battles, you can move onto online battles against other players
I got to spend time playing an early preview of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, a digital app version of the card game, where a finger swipe slices open foil-wrapped booster packs, flips coins and launches me into online battles with friends, all the while Im getting tutorials on the rules (and maybe a slight thirst to keep adding to a digital collection)
As spotted by Serebii, this is now no longer the case, as basic Pokmon cards based on Scarlet and Violet will now feature a silver coloured border to bring the western designs in line with the Japanese variants
However, the rules of being an idol are more card-centric
Jungle Barrier is also strong, even though it costs twice as much
Blightbelly Rat also proliferates when it dies, adding yet another poison counter
