The set was released on August 18, 2023 and consists of 2 subsets: Obsidian (Chinese: 黎) and Indigo (Chinese: 靛), with each subset covering specific types of Pokémon cards.

The Indigo subset was assigned expansion mark CS2b, has Eternatus as its cover Pokémon, and features Water, Lightning, Psychic and Darkness Pokémon.

As with all other Asian-exclusive sets, Vivid Portrayals contains a large selection of cards in an effort to catch up with Japanese and international releases. However, this set also includes Reverse Type Holofoil prints of all Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, which are exclusive to Simplified Chinese sets. Another feature exclusive to the Simplified Chinese cards is that all Holofoil cards including Reverse Holofoil have an English Pokémon logo embossed at the bottom left corner of the card under Expansion and Regulation Marks as proof of authenticity.[1] Secret cards feature an additional watermark with larger Pokémon logo and a latent image of Poké Ball, which is printed inside the card's rule box or on the right of the rarity symbol if the card doesn't have a rule box.

This set comes in two different types of packs:

5-card booster packs include 5 cards per pack with one card guaranteed to be either Reverse Holofoil or has a rarity of Rare or above. Each 5-card booster box includes 30 booster packs.


25-card "Jumbo" booster packs include 25 cards per pack with one guaranteed Pokémon V card. Each 25-card booster box includes 24 booster packs.

Recommended combinations in the supplement pack [Dense Mo and Heavy Colors]: Sniper Tree Owl + Bird Keeper

 

The supplement pack [Dense Ink and Heavy Colors] contains the powerful card Sniper Tree Owl. Its attribute [Dense Forest Camouflage] prevents it from being damaged by the moves of the opponent Pokémon V and Pokémon GX. The Charizard VMAX just introduced belongs to Pokémon V, so even super high-damage moves like [Super Giant Hell Flame Extinguisher] cannot cause any damage to the Sniper Tree Owl.

※The effects attached to the moves of Pokémon V and Pokémon GX will still affect Sniper Tree Owl.

※Pokémon TAG TEAM also belongs to Pokémon GX.

The move for sniping Tree Owls [Split Arrow] is also very useful. It can be used with 1 grass attribute energy + 1 non-attribute energy. It can not only cause 90 points of damage to the opponent's battle Pokémon, but also inflict damage to the opponent. The two prepared Pokémon each deal 20 points of damage.

The basic Pokémon before the evolution of Sniper Tree Owl, Mumu Owl, is also included in [Dense Ink and Colorful Li]. Mu Mu Owl can be used with the supporter card Birdkeeper. The characteristic [Aerial Juggling] is that after using Bird Keeper, Mu Mu Owl's move [Wind Gravel] can be used without energy during the round, which can flexibly attack the opponent. This combination may also become your go-to guy.
