Pokémon TCG Japan's Cyber Judge Preview: Iron Crown Ex

The new Paradox Pokémon called Iron Crown was introduced in Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Disk and will soon make its Pokémon TCG debut.

Pokémon TCG Japan has begun teasing the next Scarlet & Violet-era sister sets, Wild Force and Cyber Judge. These two sets are themed to the new Legendary Paradox Pokémon released in the recent DLC's expanding on the Paldea region. Wild Force features the ancient ancestors of the Beasts of Johto, the Paradox Pokémon Raging Bolt (an ancestor of Raikou), Gouging Fire (an ancestor of Entei), and Walking Wake (an ancestor of Suicune). Cyber Judge features the future descendants of the Swords of Justice, the Paradox Pokémon Iron Leaves (a descendant of Virizion), Iron Boulder (a descendant of Terrakion), and Iron Crown (a descendant of Cobalion). Both sets hit shelves on January 26th, 2024. These expansions will also reintroduce Ace Spec cards with a new holo pattern. It has already been confirmed that these sets will combine to make up our English-language Pokémon TCG set for March 2024, Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces. Today, let's take a look at one of the new Pokémon ex coming in Cyber Judge.

Iron Crown is a new Paradox Pokémon introduced in the latest Scarlet & Violet video game DLC: The Indigo Disk. It makes up the Paradox descendants trio of the Swords of Justice, with Iron Crown thought to be a future descendant of Cobalion. Let's get to know this Steel/Psychic-type Future Paradox Pokémon ahead of its Pokémon TCG debut in Cyber Judge, coming to Japan in January 2024. We can do so by reading its Dex entries from the main series games:

• It resembles a mysterious object introduced in a paranormal magazine as a cutting-edge weapon shaped like a Cobalion.
• There was supposedly an incident in which it launched shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces. Little else is known about it.

Japanese sets often give us early ideas of what the English-language sets may include, so be sure to keep an eye on our coverage. You can stay tuned for previews of Scarlet & Violet cards as well as updates on everything Pokémon TCG right here at Bleeding Cool.
