Pokémon TCG Japan Releases The Triplet Beat Subset Today

Pokémon TCG Japan has released the Triplet Beat subset with Art Rares and Special Art Rares featuring the Paldean Starter Pokémon.


Pokémon TCG Japan has released the next Scarlet & Violet-era set. It is a subset called Triplet Beat, which focuses on Paldean Starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. In this expansion, all three Starters will get Art Rares, and their evolutions Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval will receive Pokémon ex. This set follows Pokémon TCG Japan's Scarlet ex and Violet ex which was released in January 2023, kicking off the new Paldea-themed series block that will presumably run for the next three years. This set includes chase card versions of the Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval ex cards as Special Art Rares. Upcoming Japanese sets include April 14's Snow Hazard and Clay Burst sister sets, May's Raging Surf, June's Pokémon Card 151, July's new ex Starter Decks, and Summer 2023's Ruler of the Black Flame, which we now know will feature a Dark-type Charizard Tera ex.
