The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to expand with the release of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, launching globally on March 28, 2025. This eagerly awaited set brings back the Trainer’s Pokémon, a unique card type first introduced in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards feature iconic Pokémon paired with their well-known Trainers, adding a strategic depth to battles with their distinct abilities and synergies.

The expansion introduces 16 new Pokémon ex, along with ultra-rare artwork and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These additions will likely be available in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well, allowing fans to engage with these new elements in both physical and digital formats, including Pokémon TCG Live. While Pokémon TCG Pocket hasn't been officially confirmed for this set, the game's continuous growth suggests potential future updates.

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 highlight famous Pokémon alongside their Trainers, creating powerful synergies that can turn the tide of a battle. Some of the most anticipated Trainer’s Pokémon include:

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

This expansion is part of Pokémon's strategy to broaden its audience and enhance inclusivity. By introducing the game in Latin American Spanish, more players can fully engage with the TCG, from casual games to competitive tournaments. This move also paves the way for increased local events and a more robust presence in Latin American Pokémon communities.

Digital Play and Future Expansions

Players of Pokémon TCG Live can start collecting and battling with Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together cards a day early, on March 27, 2025. While there's no official word on the set coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket, the platform regularly adds new features and card sets, so fans should keep an eye out for future announcements.
