Get ready, Pokémon enthusiasts! The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to expand with the highly anticipated Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, launching globally on March 28, 2025. This new set brings back the beloved Trainer’s Pokémon, a special card type first seen in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards feature iconic Pokémon alongside their well-known Trainers, adding a unique strategic element to battles with their distinct abilities and synergies.

The expansion doesn't stop there; it introduces 16 new Pokémon ex, along with ultra-rare and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These exciting additions are expected to appear in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well, allowing fans to collect, trade, and battle with them across both physical and digital platforms like Pokémon TCG Live. While Pokémon TCG Pocket hasn't been officially mentioned for this release, the card game's growing ecosystem suggests that updates related to this expansion could be on the horizon.

Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies

A standout feature of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is the return of Trainer’s Pokémon cards. These cards not only showcase famous Pokémon with their Trainers but also offer powerful battle synergies. Some of the most eagerly awaited Trainer’s Pokémon include:

  • N’s Zoroark ex
  • Lillie’s Clefairy ex
  • Iono’s Bellibolt ex
  • Hop’s Zacian ex

Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together Release

This expansion is part of Pokémon's ongoing initiative to make the TCG more accessible and inclusive.
