Pokemon Card Game Japan officially revealed more info about the upcoming new set of Scarlet ex and Violet ex. This set is set to release in Japan on January 20, 2022. Both sets will have 78 cards before SR, UR, or even a new rarity. The Booster Pack will be sold at 180 yen/Booster Packs.
These sets will also introduce new mechanics which are ex and Terastal ex. The ex gimmick is quite similar to the old ex-era (not the EX one) where if the ex-Pokemon is a Stage-2 Pokemon, you need to evolve it to stage-2 with the regular Pokemon.
So far, here is the card that is revealed in this set:
Miraidon ex

Once during your turn, you may search your deck for 2 Basic Lightning Pokemon and put them onto your Bench. Then, shuffle your deck.
