Pokémon TCG Japan's Future Flash: Professor Turo Full Art

Professor Turo, the Paldean Professor that acts as a counterpart to Professor Sada, gets a Full Art in Pokémon TCG Japan's Future Flash.


Pokémon TCG Japan has begun teasing the October 2023 Scarlet & Violet-era sister sets. These two sets are the Roaring Moon-themed Ancient Roar and the Iron Valiant-themed Future Flash. Both sets hit shelves on October 27th, just one month after the Tera Garchomp-themed Raging Surf, which is also currently being teased. These expansions will introduce the new Future and Ancient mechanics, which refer to Paradox Pokémon. We have previously seen Paradox Pokémon like Iron Treads and Great Tusk in earlier Scarlet & Violet sets, but the Pokémon TCG has been mostly holding these special species back for this next wave of expansions. It has already been confirmed that these sets will pair with Raging Surf to make up Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift, which will be our English-language Pokémon TCG set for November 2023. It is rumored that Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift will also combine with the cards from the upcoming Japanese ex Starter Sets featuring Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex, but we cannot yet confirm. Today, let's take a look at a Full Art from Future Flash.

This is a Future card titled Professor Turo's Scenario. It gets both a standard version as well as the above Full Art by hncl, who draws both versions of the card. Professor Turo is one of the two Pokémon Professors of Paldea, along with Professor Sada, to whom he is married. hncl debuted with the Lucario VSTAR SWSH Black Star Promo included in the Crown Zenith Elite Trainer Boxes and then continued into the Scarlet & Violet era with Magnezone ex, Tyranitar from Paldea Evolved, and Giovanni's Charisma from 151.

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.
