One of the most memorable characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield is Ball Guy - a mascot for the Galar region Pokémon League. Each time you meet up with him throughout your journey, he gives you a different type of Poké Ball.
It seems he'll be going beyond the video game very soon, as he's making an appearance in the upcoming Pokémon Trading Card Game set, "Shiny Star V" - launching in Japan later this month on 20th November. Here's a look, courtesy of Serebii.net webmaster and Nintendo Life contributor, Joe Merrick:
Many fans of Ball Guy are already requesting a "full art" version of him, and who knows what could happen now that he's got his own trainer card. What do you think of this new card yourself? Do you collect Pokémon cards yourself? Comment down below.

Man, what a legend.
That's totally amazeballs.
I don't see why this is surprising, Every game's Rival get a card.
Sounds like the name of some poor soul whio is the subject of an amusing meme. Or just my father in law who only has one testicle.
Show some respect there is a real person with a name and life inside that ball head mask. But will he ever take it off?
@doctorhino I expect the white body suit to cover the face as well.
So when are we going to get are first creepypasta about the cursed pokemon card?
That ain't no mask. He born that way.
For a moment I thought ball guy was a Pokemon YouTuber or something.
The plushie came before the card.
Ball Guy sounds like a search term on adult websites.
Thats un-ball-ievable
Okay, but what does the card do?
@Bobb Search your deck for up to 3 different items with "Ball" in their name, reveal them and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Secretly it's just the male Wii Fit trainer infiltrating another game
This isn’t something anyone wanted
It’s something everyone needed
@Silly_G His poor mother.

I dunno about that....
The True Hero of Pokemon Sw/Sh finally gets his due!
@PBNightmare Thank you very much
They should do a secret rare version where his head's a MasterBall instead.
Pokemon's answer to Tingle?
Totally nuts. He's balling out. A well-rounded individual.
