"Reward Round" Everything You Need To Know

Everything you need to know about “Reward Round”

The Stringy Cheese Man (Yes! We know it’s a stack of coins) is making his debut in “Reward Round”.

Yet another interesting name, but this one does make sense (if you think about it). According to Gholdengo’s card ability: Coin Bonus (what is it with coins this week)? In the simplest terms, the card allows you to draw an extra card every turn (like getting a Prize Card) – seems rather fitting.

Reward Round will release in Mainland China on: 18 July 2025.

Collectors Tip: Unlike Sword & Shield era, Jumbo packs have decreased the amount of cards from 25 cards to 20 cards. They also no longer guarantee a minimum of an “EX” card. Boo!
