Pokemon TCG Paldean Fates: Release date, cards, set details more

The Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet Paldean Fates set has been officially announced for the west, with details for its new cards and a release date. Here’s everything Pokemon TCG players need to know about the set.

The Gen 9 Pokemon games are already represented in the Pokemon TCG, though there’s still a lot from the Paldea region that hasn’t appeared in the card game. After all, the Paldea Evolved TCG set was just a taste of things to come.

As with most Pokemon TCG sets, many cards will debut as in Japanese. In the case of Paldean Fates, the cards will appear in Japan’s Shiny Treasure ex set, which is set to launch in December 2023.

On November 16, 2023 the official Pokemon TCG Twitter/X finally announced the Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates set, which will introduce new Shiny Pokemon to the game. Here’s everything trainers need to know about this colorful new expansion.
