Exciting news for Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) enthusiasts! Pokémon has announced the much-anticipated return of beloved elements from the early days of the game, set to make a comeback in 2025.
During the 2024 Pokémon World Championships, Pokémon unveiled plans to bring back "Trainer’s Pokémon" to the TCG. The announcement was accompanied by a thrilling teaser trailer featuring well-known trainers like Marnie, Lillie, and N, alongside hints of a Team Rocket resurgence.
Trainer’s Pokémon cards, a hallmark of the game's early days, represent Pokémon owned by specific trainers or characters. These cards are distinguished by their unique abilities and distinctive artwork. The showcased Trainer’s Pokémon cards include Lillie’s Clefairy ex, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, N’s Zoroark ex, and N’s Reshiram.
The teaser also teased a Team Rocket revival, with Mewtwo appearing alongside the team's iconic symbol. This has sparked speculation about a potential Team Rocket-themed card set, possibly including the return of Dark Pokémon—known for their aggressive and edgy twists on classic Pokémon.
Rumors of Team Rocket cards have been circulating, fueled by a retailer listing in Japan and a trademark filing by The Pokémon Company for "The Glory of Team Rocket." While nothing has been officially confirmed, the anticipation for these additions to the TCG is palpable.
In other TCG news, the first glimpse of the upcoming Paradise Dragona set was revealed at the 2024 Pokémon World Championships. According to PokeBeach, the showcased cards include Latias, Latios, Exeggcute, and Alolan Exeggutor ex. This Japanese subset focuses on Dragon-type Pokémon and is slated for an English release as part of the Surging Sparks set in November 2024.
As fans eagerly await further details, the TCG is currently concluding the Kitikami chapter with the launch of Shrouded Fable this month. The Shrouded Fable set comprises 99 cards, including 64 main cards and 35 secret rare cards, promising an exciting end to the chapter.
