Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces is the English-language and international adaptation of Japan's sister sets Wild Force and Cyber Judge, which we previewed extensively here on Bleeding Cool. This set continues the focus on the region of Paldea but it now goes beyond the initial Scarlet & Violet games. Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces specifically features Pokémon released in the Version 1.2.0 update of the game, such as Walking Wake, and the Indigo Disk DLC, such as Iron Crown.

The primary focus of Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces is Paradox Pokémon. The newly introduced Paradox species getting their first cards are the Ancient relatives of the Beasts of Johto and the Future descendants of the Swords of Justice from Unova. These species include Iron Crown (a Future relative of Cobalion), Iron Leaves (Future Virizion), Iron Boulder (Future Terrakion), Walking Wake (an Ancient relative of Suicune), Raging Bolt (Ancient Raikou), and Gouging Flames (Ancient Entei). All of these Paradox species feature on Pokémon ex, which also gets Full Arts and Special Illustration Rares.

This set also features the return of ACE Spec cards with a notable pink cross-hatch holo pattern.
