The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to captivate fans once again with the launch of the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion on March 28, 2025. This highly anticipated set brings back the beloved Trainer’s Pokémon, a card type that pairs iconic Pokémon with their famous Trainers, first introduced in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards add a unique layer to gameplay, allowing players to harness powerful synergies and distinct battle strategies.
In addition to the Trainer’s Pokémon, the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together set introduces 16 new Pokémon ex cards, along with ultra-rare artwork and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These additions promise to enhance the collecting and battling experience, available in both the physical Pokémon Trading Card Game and digital platforms like Pokémon TCG Live. Although not officially confirmed, there's a buzz that these exciting new cards may also find their way into Pokémon TCG Pocket, so keep an eye out for updates on this expansion.
Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies
