Release Date: 17th October 2012
Cards in Set: 21
Features:
- The set introduces the Dragon type into the TCG.
- During the first week of October, a new blister pack will hit store shelves called the Dragon Vault: unlike regular blister packs, it will come with its own unique Dragon Vault booster packs comprised of the 20 Pokemon and Trainer cards from Japan's Dragon Selection mini-set!
- There will be three of the Dragon Vault booster packs in the package, each containing five cards instead of the usual ten, as well as one of five promo cards and a TCGO card.
- Like Japan's mini-set, ALL of the cards in the Dragon Vault packs will be holographic - the set includes 20 different cards, and all cards in the set are holographic.
- The blister packs will be packaged with Latias, Latios, Rayquaza, Haxorus, and Druddigon from the set as special holos stamped with the Dragon Vault logo. There will also be a secret rare Kyurem (#21/20) in the set, which was given out at tournaments in Japan earlier this year; its translation is below.
- Dragon Vault will apparently be released on October 5th according to some card distributors. Every blister pack comes with three Dragon Vault booster packs containing five random cards, all of which are holo! The blister packs are also packaged with one of the five aforementioned special holo cards.

Note: In association with our friends at The Pokemon Company International and Banter Toys & Collectibles, PokeCollection have the exclusive privilege to announce the exciting release of a forthcoming Dragon TCG product! Scheduled for release in the first week of October, the same week as 'Pokemon: Black2/White2' on the Nintendo DS, The 'Dragon Vault' Triple-Blister Pack will be hitting store shelves worldwide!
The 'Dragon Vault' mini-set contains 20 cards, including regular Pokemon and trainers, of which all are holographic! The blister pack itself will contain 3 Pokemon TCG 5-card booster packs, in addition to 1 of 5 unique 'Dragon Vault' promotional cards! To top it off, you'll also receive a TCG online code card to unlock the 'Dragon Vault' treasure trove online!
The pack artwork itself will feature Dragonite, Rayquaza, Haxorus, and Salamence!
PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, The Pokemon Company International have decided not to release what would have become the originally-intended 'Dragon Vault'. This is also a reason why we, at PokeCollection, held back our previous announcement on August 6th. However, they are still going ahead with this release, albeit in a scaled-down form, in order to introduce what they would have done either way: DRAGON SELECTION!
