China just got a card the rest of the world cannot pull. The official Pokémon site in China has revealed Gem Pack Vol 7, landing November 6, and the face of the set is a brand new Misty's Psyduck illustration card that exists only in this Simplified Chinese release.
The card is pure summer. Psyduck lounges front and center holding a beach ball high while Misty poses behind it in the sun, palm fronds and bright blue sky filling out the scene. It is numbered 03 07/07 in Psyduck's group, carries 70 HP, and the art comes from illustrator Cona Nitanda.
Gem Packs play by their own rules. Vol 7 features 28 Pokémon, and every one of them gets seven numbered cards. Six are holo pattern versions of its regular art, with finishes that include an attribute pattern, a Master Ball pattern, and a Gem Pack logo pattern. The seventh is an art illustration foil like the Misty's Psyduck. That makes 196 cards in the set and every single one of them is a foil. Packs hold four random cards and cost 10 yuan each.
The set leans hard into trainers standing beside the Pokémon they are known for, with trainer and partner pairings running through the lineup. Misty and Psyduck are simply the pairing China put on the cover. A matching Psyduck collection binder arrives the same day at 15 yuan, sized at one card per page across 30 pages with Psyduck printed on the cover.
For collectors outside China, the honest read is simple. Nothing in the official reveal points to this card traveling into Japanese or English sets, and Gem Pack illustration cards have a habit of staying home. Anyone who wants this Psyduck is looking at imports once November 6 lands. Given the pairing on the art, expect it to be the chase card of the whole volume.
