The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to expand with the highly anticipated Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, launching globally on March 28, 2025. This exciting new set brings back the beloved Trainer’s Pokémon cards, a special card type first introduced in the Gym Heroes expansion. These cards pair iconic Pokémon with their well-known Trainers, adding unique strategies and abilities to the game that enhance the battle experience.
In addition to the return of Trainer’s Pokémon, the expansion will introduce 16 new Pokémon ex cards, along with ultra-rare and hyper-rare gold-etched cards. These new cards are expected to be available in both the physical Pokémon TCG and digital platforms such as Pokémon TCG Live. Although Pokémon TCG Pocket has not been officially confirmed for this release, the ongoing growth of the card game suggests that fans should keep an eye out for any updates regarding this digital platform.
Trainer’s Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies
The Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together set shines a spotlight on Trainer’s Pokémon cards, featuring dynamic duos of Pokémon and their Trainers that introduce powerful battle synergies. Among the most eagerly awaited cards are:
- N’s Zoroark ex
- Lillie’s Clefairy ex
- Iono’s Bellibolt ex
- Hop’s Zacian ex
This expansion is part of Pokémon's broader strategy to engage a wider audience and enhance inclusivity. By offering the game in Latin American Spanish, more players can fully immerse themselves in the game, from casual play to competitive tournaments. This move also paves the way for increased local events and a stronger community presence within Latin America.

Players of Pokémon TCG Live will get early access to the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together cards starting March 27, 2025. While there’s no official word yet on whether this expansion will be available in Pokémon TCG Pocket, the game's ongoing development and introduction of new features suggest that fans should stay alert for future announcements.
