Author : Joseph Apr 09,2025

The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to captivate fans once again with the upcoming expansion, Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, scheduled for a worldwide launch on March 28, 2025. This set introduces the much-anticipated return of Trainer’s Pokémon cards, which were first seen in the Gym Heroes expansion. These unique cards feature iconic Pokémon paired with their well-known Trainers, bringing fresh strategies and abilities to the game that can significantly alter the dynamics of battles.

In addition to the Trainer’s Pokémon, the expansion will feature 16 new Pokémon ex cards, along with ultra-rare artwork and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These additions are likely to appear in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well, allowing fans to enjoy them both in the physical and digital realms. Collectors and players will have the opportunity to gather these new cards, trade them, and engage in battles across platforms like Pokémon TCG Live. Although there's no official mention of Pokémon TCG Pocket in the release notes, the TCG community should keep an eye out for potential updates concerning this expansion.

Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies

The highlight of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is undoubtedly the Trainer’s Pokémon cards. These cards not only depict famous Pokémon with their Trainers but also offer powerful synergies in gameplay. Some of the most eagerly awaited Trainer’s Pokémon cards include:

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

This initiative is part of Pokémon’s continuous effort to broaden its reach and make the TCG more inclusive. By offering the game in Latin American Spanish, more players can immerse themselves in the full TCG experience, from casual games to competitive tournaments. This move also paves the way for increased local events and a stronger community presence in Latin America.
