The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to expand with the highly anticipated Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, launching worldwide on March 28, 2025. This new set brings back the beloved Trainer’s Pokémon cards, first seen in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards feature iconic Pokémon paired with their well-known Trainers, adding a unique twist to battles with innovative strategies and abilities.
In addition to the return of Trainer’s Pokémon, the expansion introduces 16 new Pokémon ex, along with ultra-rare artwork and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These exciting additions will likely be available in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well, allowing fans to collect, trade, and battle with them across both physical and digital platforms, including Pokémon TCG Live. Although Pokémon TCG Pocket isn’t officially mentioned in the release, the game's growth suggests potential updates related to this expansion, so keep an eye out for future announcements.
Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies
A major highlight of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is the reintroduction of Trainer’s Pokémon cards. These cards showcase famous Pokémon alongside their Trainers, creating powerful synergies in battle. 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
This move is part of Pokémon’s ongoing effort to reach a wider audience and make the TCG more inclusive. By offering the game in Latin American Spanish, more players will be able to enjoy the full experience in their native language, from casual matches to competitive tournaments. This also paves the way for expanded local events and a stronger presence in Latin American Pokémon communities.
