The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to thrill fans once again with the upcoming Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion, launching worldwide on March 28, 2025. This eagerly awaited set brings back the beloved Trainer's Pokémon cards, a special card type originally featured in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards highlight iconic Pokémon paired with their well-known Trainers, adding a unique and strategic layer to gameplay.

In addition to the Trainer's Pokémon, the expansion introduces 16 new Pokémon ex cards, ultra-rare artwork, and hyper-rare gold-etched cards, which are expected to be available in Pokémon TCG Pocket as well. Players will have the opportunity to collect, trade, and battle with these new additions across both physical and digital platforms, including Pokémon TCG Live. Although Pokémon TCG Pocket hasn't been officially confirmed for this release, the game's continuous growth suggests that updates related to this expansion could be on the horizon.

Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies

The highlight of Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is undoubtedly the return of Trainer's Pokémon cards. These cards not only feature famous Pokémon alongside their Trainers but also offer powerful synergies and new battle strategies. Some of the most anticipated Trainer's Pokémon include:
