At this point, calling it the Venom Shock Pearl is probably only for marketing reasons. There have been Gear core pearls in the past (Venom Panic). I can't see how putting Hexion Pearl on the Gear core makes a Venom Shock Pearl. It will probably be a couple steps away from the rest of the Venom series balls. Doesn't mean I don't like the combination, just odd marketing.
It will have the Hexion MFP cover. So a new, weaker version of the Quest. Color scheme is similar to the Paronia. Purple with green logos.
What is the difference between this and the Panic? Not a fan of the Panic.
