We’re still about a month away from the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, but download cards for the games have started popping up in Japanese stores – and they show something rather interesting. It seems like Team Rocket will make an appearance in both games – the download card for Ultra Sun (see above, bottom left corner) shows a battle against a female Team Rocket grunt, while the download card for Ultra Moon (below) depicts a male grunt.

How exactly Team Rocket are involved in the game’s story is unknown at the moment. Still, if they are showcased on the download cards, it’s likely more than just a small cameo.
