New ‘Scarlet & Violet - Journey Together’ Expansion Brings Fresh Gameplay to Pokémon TCG

Author : Ava Apr 19,2025

The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to captivate fans once again with the upcoming Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion, scheduled for a global release on March 28, 2025. This exciting set reintroduces Trainer's Pokémon, a card type that first appeared in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards, featuring iconic Pokémon alongside their renowned Trainers, offer unique battle strategies and abilities that promise to shake up the gameplay dynamic.

In addition to the Trainer's Pokémon, the expansion will introduce 16 new Pokémon ex cards, along with ultra-rare artwork and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These new additions are expected to enhance the collectible experience and are likely to be available in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well. Enthusiasts can look forward to collecting, trading, and battling with these new cards in both the physical TCG and digital platforms like Pokémon TCG Live. Although Pokémon TCG Pocket hasn't been officially linked to this release, the game's growing ecosystem suggests keeping an eye out for potential updates.

Trainer's Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies

The highlight of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is undoubtedly the return of Trainer's Pokémon. These cards not only feature famous Pokémon with their Trainers but also introduce powerful synergies in battle. 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 move aligns with Pokémon's broader strategy to expand its reach and make the TCG more inclusive. By offering the game in Latin American Spanish, more players can enjoy a full experience in their native language, from casual play to competitive tournaments. This also paves the way for expanded local events and a stronger presence within Latin American Pokémon communities.

Digital Play and Future Expansions

Players of Pokémon TCG Live can start collecting and battling with the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together cards a day early, on March 27, 2025. While there's no official word yet on whether the expansion will come to Pokémon TCG Pocket, the game's ongoing updates and new feature introductions suggest that players should stay tuned for future announcements.
