Released during the 2017 Sun & Moon era, The Masked Royal (ロイヤルマスク) is a Japanese Pokémon TCG Trainer Supporter card from the Shining Legends promotional campaign. Its Ken Sugimori illustration depicts a masked Luchador-style trainer in a ring, with a Charizard roaring dramatically in the background under stadium lights. In play, The Masked Royal accelerates Fire and Darkness Stage 2 decks by letting you attach an extra Basic Energy card from your hand. The card’s holofoil finish and limited promo distribution (tied to Shining Legends booster purchases in 2017) make it a valuable collectible, while its energy-acceleration effect appeals to players and competitive decks.
