Pokémon TCG Has Released New Set, Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates

Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates, now available from the Pokémon TCG, continues the Shiny-themed tradition that Hidden Fates began.



Article Summary

  • Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates TCG set continues the Shiny legacy.
  • First wave features Gen 9 shiny Pokémon and classics like Charizard.
  • Includes various collectibles like Elite Trainer Boxes and Tins.
  • Wave rollout starts January 26, with more items releasing through February.

The new Pokémon TCG expansion has hit shelves… partially. Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates is being released in waves, and the first wave has hit. Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates is the second special set of the current Paldea-focused era after Scarlet & Violet – 151 and is the third Shiny-themed set in the Hidden Fates series. Hidden Fates was a fan-favorite set, kicking off with a huge subset called the Shiny Vault dedicated to Shiny Pokémon. The second set in this series was Shining Fates, which came out during the Galar era. Now, the newly released Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates features both new Generation 9 species in their Shiny forms for the first time as well as classic species like Charizard and Mew. Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates is the international adaptation of Pokémon TCG Japan's high-class set Shiny Treasure ex. Let's take a look at the release schedule of Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates, which I will also be opening right here on Bleeding Cool to give you all a first look at the cards.
