Battle Styles arrived in early 2021 as Pokemon's answer to the fighting-type craze sweeping the TCG. The set introduced Urshifu, a new legendary fighting Pokemon from the Sword and Shield expansion universe, split into two distinct mechanics: Single Strike and Rapid Strike. This dual-style approach reinvigorated competitive play and collector interest, making Battle Styles a pivotal release during the hobby's explosive growth period. Single Strike Urshifu V showcases one of the set's marquee Pokemon in its more aggressive form. The artwork captures Urshifu mid-battle with striking detail and dynamic energy. Collectors gravitated toward both Urshifu variants as centerpieces of their collections, representing the fresh competitive strategies and character designs that defined this era of Pokemon TCG collecting.
