by Matthew Apr 22,2025

The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to expand its horizons with the highly anticipated Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together set, launching globally on March 28, 2025. This exciting new set brings back the beloved Trainer's Pokémon, a unique card type that first debuted in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards feature iconic Pokémon paired with their renowned Trainers, adding a fresh strategic element to the game with their distinct abilities and synergies.

In addition to the Trainer's Pokémon, Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together introduces 16 new Pokémon ex, stunning ultra-rare artwork, and coveted hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These additions will enhance the collections of fans and likely make their way into Pokémon TCG Pocket, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy these new cards in both physical and digital formats, including Pokémon TCG Live. Although Pokémon TCG Pocket has not been officially mentioned in this release, the ongoing growth of the card game suggests that fans should stay tuned for potential updates.

The spotlight of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together shines on the Trainer's Pokémon cards. These cards not only highlight the bond between Pokémon and their Trainers but also offer powerful synergies that can turn the tide of battle. Some of the most eagerly awaited Trainer's Pokémon include:

This initiative is part of Pokémon's commitment to broadening its audience and fostering inclusivity within the TCG community. By introducing the game in Latin American Spanish, Pokémon aims to engage more players in their native language, enhancing their experience from casual play to competitive tournaments. This move also paves the way for more local events and a stronger community presence in Latin America.

Digital Play and Future Expansions

Players of Pokémon TCG Live can get a head start on collecting and battling with the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together cards, with access beginning on March 27, 2025, one day before the official global release. While there's no official word yet on the expansion's inclusion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, the platform's continuous updates and new card set introductions keep the excitement alive, urging fans to stay alert for any forthcoming announcements.

With each new expansion, the Pokémon TCG continues to evolve, offering fresh strategies and collectible cards that enrich the gameplay experience.
